PASSIVE VOICE GAMES

1. Research Race

What inventions do your students think are most necessary in their lives? As a

class, brainstorm as many different inventions necessary to modern life as possible.

Then use that list of inventions in this combination grammar and reading activity.

Give students ten minutes to work with a partner on their smartphones or other

technology devices (this works best if you have Wi-Fi in class or can take your

students to a computer lab) and identify who masterminded each of their necessary

inventions. For every inventor they find, they should write a sentence in the passive

voice. “The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.” Give your students

only ten minutes to research as many inventions as possible. When you call time,

award each pair one point for identifying the correct inventor and one point for

writing a grammatical passive sentence. The pair with the most points wins the

game.
