: Use this program and exercises to practice the passive tense. These are vocabulary activities and students can practice spelling the past participle of 12 different verbs, some regular past participles and irregular past participles as well. These are some listening exercises and 3 different grammar practice games to solidify the target language.

This game focuses on passive tense sentences with four main sections. There are vocabulary practice games and past participle spelling exercises. Then, there are some games for conversation practice and games for listening practice. The question and answer activities are associated with the Kids ESL curriculum from MES English - Unit 15.

The questions and answers for this game are as follows.

A: What happened to him?

B: He was scratched.

A: What happened?

A: Was he run over?

Other notes:

The English passive tense is used when the active agent is unknown or not important. For that reason 'by ...' is generally not used. If the agent is important to the meaning, English prefers the active sentence structure. However, since this is passive tense practice, there is some use of 'by ...' and solidification of its use in the grammar practice sections.

With the question, 'What happened to ...?' there is emphasis on being able to use 'to ...' For the listening and vocabulary games, it's present, but shouldn't affect the students ability to understand and complete the exercises.

These exercises only use the 3rd person past tense, 'He was hit.'/'Was he hit?'/'He wasn't hit.'

The audio wil read the full sentence, but the spelling section will only accept the past participle or 'be + past participle'

Passive voice sentences like "It is made of steel" and "It was invented in China" can make it seem like a very dry, boring grammar point, but in fact there are so many possible entertaining activities for this point that this article could only include the best few!

Passive voice guessing games

Students listen to hints like "It was invented by Alexander Graham Bell" and "In Victorian times, it was hung on the wall" and try to guess what is being described. They can then make up similar hints for their partners. This works for almost any topic, for example:

inventions/ technology

transport

food and drink

things specific to their country (local clothes, etc)

social issues

classroom objects

animals

the environment

countries

medical topics

history

business

These topics also work for most of the games below.

Passive voice description competitions

This is like the opposite of the game above. One student chooses one thing to describe, e.g. a local food that foreign people often don't know, and the other students compete to make the clearest explanation in as few sentences as possible. Passive voice should come up naturally, or you could only allow passive sentences.

Passive voice quizzes

Students try to answer trivia questions in the passive voice like "Which country is most tuna exported from?" and "Where were books first printed?", perhaps with multiple-choice options to choose from. They then make up similar questions for each other, allowing internet research, giving them suggested topics and/ or giving them suggested verbs if they need help.

Passive voice number quizzes

If you also want to practise the important topic of pronouncing numbers, you can also add these with questions like "How many Sinclair C5s were sold?". This works best with the person who has the answer giving hints like "Much more" and "Slightly less" until someone guesses exactly the right number.

Passive voice presentations challenge

Students imagine a new product (either totally new or an improvement on something that exists), decide how to describe it with attractive-sounding passive sentences like "It is used by Queen Elizabeth", then try to sell it to someone else with a short presentation. If you want to score, you could give points for:

passive voice sentences that no other group came up with

passive sentences that other people agree sound attractive

passive voice questions when they hear other people's presentations

being voted the most popular product in the class.

For more past passive, they could also try to sell a (true or made-up) antique to a museum or collector.

Passive voice bluffing games

Lying games with this grammar include:

describing a thing with a mix of true and false passive voice sentences, and the other person trying to spot the false description(s)

describing things they know and things they don't know with passive voice, then the other person working out if they really knew what each thing was

Students will probably need suggested verbs, sentence stems, etc to help make up their descriptions.

Passive voice board games

Make a board game with one thing that can be described with passive voice in each square, e.g. "chocolate" in the first square and "solar panels" in the second. Students move around the board (without a dice) by how good their descriptions with passive voice are. For very controlled practice, you can make each correct description with passive voice one point (stopping when they make a mistake with the language or say something that isn't true). For freer practice, ask them to speak about it for as long as they can, with one point for every 15 seconds of speaking (minus time off for silence). They can then move on one square for each point they got (up to a maximum of six squares).

Passive voice dominoes

Make around 15 to 20 true passive sentences in a mix of tenses ("The temperature of the world will probably have risen by over three degrees by..." etc). Split the sentences so that each one can only be put with its other half, with the other possible matches being wrong due to a mix of grammatical and factual reasons. Make domino cards with the end of one sentence on the left and the beginning of a different sentence on the right of each, organised so that they will make a big circle if they are put together correctly. Students work together to use their language and factual knowledge to put them all together, then can play a more competitive game more like actual dominoes.

Passive voice storytelling activities

Students take turns continuing a story about the history of an object such as what happened to Einstein's brain after his death or the history of a historic house. As with these examples, these will need to be things that people do stuff to, not something more active like a pet or robot.

Passive voice random pelmanism

Students pick two things and try to make a passive voice sentence that no one has used in the game before that is true for both like "They are both used by humans" and "They were already used in the stone age". If their partners accept that, they get one point and those two things are out of the game. This can be played with a worksheet, with cards spread across the table face up, or (for most fun and challenge) with cards spread face down.

Passive voice sentence completion games (bluff, things in common and guessing)

Give students partial passive sentences which they could fill with personal information like "I was _______________ last year" and "My favourite team is regularly _________________". These can be used for a bluffing game, for finding things in common with each other, or for a guessing game (reading out just the part they wrote for their partner to add to the correct sentence).

🔹 1. Crime and Mystery

Why: Teens love stories, suspense, and detective themes.
Activity: Have students write or report on a fictional crime scene.

“The window was broken.”

“The money was stolen from the safe.”

“No fingerprints were found.”

# data[].attributes.body
🔹 2. Social Media or News Headlines

Why: Teens consume digital content daily. Headlines often use passive to focus on the event, not the doer.

“New song released by Taylor Swift.”

“A record was broken at the Olympics.”

Activity: Turn active sentences into passive ones for fake news headlines or social media posts.

# data[].attributes.body
🔹 3. Describing Processes (e.g., How It's Made)

Why: Teens are curious about how things work or are made (food, sneakers, tech).
Activity: Watch a short video on how something is made, then describe it using passive:

“The shoes are designed in Italy and made in Vietnam.”

“Chocolate is produced from cocoa beans.”

# data[].attributes.body
NEWS REPORTS

In this activity, students get passive voice practice by listening to a news recording. They retell what happened in each case using passive structures. Students also use icons to help them.

# data[].attributes.body
FACTS ABOUT THE WORLD

Students work in pairs and get a card with sentences. They complete the first part by forming the correct passive voice. Then, students ask their partner questions to complete the missing information in the second part (e.g. When was the Eiffel Tower built?).

# data[].attributes.body
RULES AND MESSAGES

Students look at signs and change the sentences to passive voice (e.g. We will serve lunch at 12. – Lunch will be served at 12.). They then write the sentences in the passive voice for more signs with images.

Absolutely! Brain breaks are perfect for keeping teens engaged—and if you can sneak in a bit of grammar (like the passive voice), even better. Here are some quick, fun, movement-based or low-prep brain breaks that connect the theme of musicians with the passive voice:

🎧 1. "Who Was It Sung By?" – Music Clip Challenge

What you need: Short clips (10–15 sec) of popular songs

Play a short music clip.

Students guess the artist using passive voice:

"That song was sung by Olivia Rodrigo!"

For extra energy, let them dance for 10 seconds before guessing.

🕺 2. "Passive Voice Charades: Music Edition"

How it works:

Write music-related actions in passive voice on slips of paper:

"A guitar is played"

"A concert is attended"

"A song is written"

One student acts it out silently.

Others guess using passive voice:

"A guitar is being played!"

🎤 3. "Passive Karaoke Switch"

Choose a well-known chorus or line from a song.

Rewrite one line in passive voice.

Original: "They play this song everywhere."

Passive: "This song is played everywhere."

Have a few students sing the passive version dramatically. Funny or theatrical is encouraged!

🪩 4. "Musician Memory Move"

Students stand in a circle.

First student says a sentence in passive voice about a musician:

"A Grammy was won by Billie Eilish."

Adds a simple movement (e.g., clap).

Next student repeats the sentence, adds their own (in passive), and a new movement.

Continue until the chain breaks—then laugh and reset!

🎲 5. "Passive Music Bingo"

Create Bingo cards with music-related passive sentences like:

"The album was released last year."

"The song is loved by many."

Call out the active version, and students find the passive match.

Example:

You say: "People love the song."

They find: "The song is loved by many."

🧠 6. "Quick Draw: Passive Voice DJ"

Students draw a simple comic or 2-frame story in 5 minutes:

Frame 1: A song is being written.

Frame 2: The song is performed on stage.

Share drawings in pairs, describing them using passive sentences.

Would you like a printable version or editable template for any of these activities?

Absolutely! 🎧 Brain breaks are such a smart way to keep energy up while reinforcing learning—and mixing in musicians and the passive voice makes it even more fun. Here are some light and engaging activities your teens will love:

🕺🎤 Passive Voice Brain Breaks with a Musical Twist

1. “Guess That Tune (Passive Style)”

Play a short snippet of a well-known song.

Students write passive sentences about it.

Example: “This song was performed by Coldplay.”

Quick challenge: Who can write the most passive sentences in one minute?

2. “Musician Moves Mimic”

Flash a famous artist’s name and an action.

One student mimes a passive version of it!

Example: “A dance move was invented by BTS.”

Rest of class guesses both the artist and the sentence.

3. “Name That Music Event”

Say a passive sentence related to a music event.

Example: “An iconic music video was filmed in 1983.”

Students guess: What event? Who was involved? Can they turn it into active voice?

4. “Pass the Sentence” Challenge

Sit in a circle. One student starts with a musician-related passive sentence:

“The guitar was played by Jimi Hendrix.”

Each student changes one element (verb, object, subject) but keeps it passive.

Keep the chain going until someone breaks the structure—then start a new round!

5. 🎶“Lyric Rewrite Relay”

Split into teams. Hand out a short lyric (just one line).

Each team rewrites it using passive voice.

Original: “Taylor sings the chorus.”

Passive: “The chorus is sung by Taylor.”

Fastest team wins bonus points!

These are quick and playful ways to energize your class while sneaking in grammar practice. Want a printable version or a ready-to-go PowerPoint for these? I’d love to help you build it! 💫

# data[].attributes.body
4. Mock Interviews

Pairs take turns being journalists and famous musicians.

Use prompts like: “What songs were recorded last year?” or “Was the concert enjoyed by fans?”

5. Music Industry Roles Game

Give students imaginary jobs: producer, songwriter, tour manager.

They create passive voice sentences about what was done by them.

e.g., “The tour schedule was planned by the manager.”

Absolutely! Teaching the passive voice in the present simple to teenagers works best when the activities feel meaningful, relatable, and maybe even a bit playful 😄 Here are some fun and effective ways to introduce it:

🎬 Activity Ideas for Passive Voice (Present Simple)

1. “Who Does What?” Flip Game

Create two sets of cards: one with subjects (e.g., “The cake”, “The homework”) and one with verbs (e.g., “bake”, “do”).

Students draw combinations and rewrite them in passive voice:
“The cake is baked.” / “The homework is done.”

2. Mystery Reporter 🕵️

Students walk around asking classmates what tasks are done in different places (e.g., “What is prepared in the school cafeteria?”).

They then report back using passive voice:
“Lunch is prepared in the school cafeteria.”

3. Passive Voice Detective

Show pictures of common actions (someone cleaning a room, delivering mail, etc.).

Students describe what happens using passive voice:
“The room is cleaned every morning.”

4. Classroom Scavenger Hunt

Hide cards around the classroom with passive sentences (“The board is cleaned every day.”).

Have students find and match them with active versions.

5. Mini Ad Campaign 🛍️

Students create posters or social media captions for imaginary products, using passive voice to sound more formal or catchy:
“Our clothes are made with love.” / “The packaging is recycled.”

Would you like a worksheet or printable activity sheet based on one of these? I’d be happy to help you build that too 😊

Great! Since your class is for teenagers, you can go a bit deeper than with young children—make it relatable, relevant, and interactive. Here's how to structure your lesson and relate the present simple passive voice to a singer's life in a meaningful, engaging way:

🎯 Lesson Objective

Students will understand and use the present simple passive voice by applying it to the context of a singer’s career and daily routine.

1. 🎤 Start with the context: A Singer’s Life

Put them in the mindset:

“Imagine you're talking about a famous singer, like Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, or someone you like. What kinds of things happen to them—not what they do, but what is done to them?”

This opens the door for the passive.

2. 🧠 Build the connection with examples

Give active and passive voice pairs based on a singer’s world:

Active Passive (Present Simple) The singer writes songs. Songs are written by the singer. The producer records the tracks. The tracks are recorded by the producer. Fans buy the albums. Albums are bought by fans. The team organizes the concerts. Concerts are organized by the team. Paparazzi follow the singer. The singer is followed by paparazzi.

Emphasize the structure:
[object] + is/are + past participle + (by agent)

3. 🎬 Engaging Activity – “A Day in a Singer’s Life”

Instructions:

1. Tell students they are now managers or reporters writing about a singer’s routine.

2. They must write 4–6 sentences in the passive voice, describing what happens in a singer’s day. For example:

"Photos are taken."

"Interviews are given."

"Outfits are chosen by the stylist."

"The tour is planned by the manager."

Optional twist: Let them choose a real or made-up singer.

4. 💡 Extra idea: Passive Voice Interview Roleplay

Have one student pretend to be a famous singer. Others ask questions using the passive voice:

“How many songs are written per month?”

“Where are your clothes chosen?”

“How many concerts are performed each year?”

The "singer" can answer in passive or active form for variety.

5. 🧾 Homework/Project Suggestion

Ask them to:

Create a mini poster or slide about their favorite singer, using at least 5 passive voice sentences to describe what happens to the singer (not what they do).

Let me know if you want a ready-to-print worksheet, slides, or more examples—they’re easy to customize!

🎸 Warm-Up 5: "Passive Voice Remix"

Focus: Transforming Active to Passive

Instructions:

“Billie Eilish sings ‘Ocean Eyes’.” → “‘Ocean Eyes’ is sung by Billie Eilish.”

“The band released a new album.” → “A new album was released by the band.”

Great! Here's a follow-up peer review activity that complements the writing task and encourages collaboration and constructive feedback.

📝 Peer Review Activity: How Songs Are Created (Present Simple Passive)

Objective:

To review and improve writing by giving and receiving feedback on the use of the present simple passive voice.

Instructions:

1. Pair Up:

Students exchange their paragraphs with a partner.

2. Review Checklist:

Each student reads their partner’s paragraph and uses the checklist below to give feedback.

✅ Peer Review Checklist:

[ ] Are at least 5 sentences included?

[ ] Are the verbs correctly used in the present simple passive?

Example: The lyrics are written by the singer.

[ ] Is the paragraph clear and easy to follow?

[ ] Are there any spelling or grammar mistakes?

[ ] Is the vocabulary varied and appropriate?

[ ] Does the paragraph follow a logical order of the song creation process?

1. Feedback Comments:

Write 2–3 sentences of feedback:

One thing you liked.

One suggestion for improvement.

One question you have about the paragraph.

Example Feedback:

I liked how you explained the recording process clearly. You used the passive voice well, but you could add more detail about how the song is promoted. What kind of platforms is the song released on?

Would you like me to format this into a printable worksheet or add a rubric for grading?

Perfect! Here's a rubric to help guide and assess the peer review activity. It focuses on both the quality of the original writing and the effectiveness of the peer feedback.

📊 Peer Review Rubric: How Songs Are Created (Present Simple Passive)

Criteria Excellent (4 pts) Good (3 pts) Fair (2 pts) Needs Improvement (1 pt) Use of Passive Voice All sentences correctly use present simple passive voice. Most sentences correctly use passive voice with minor errors. Some sentences use passive voice, but with noticeable errors. Passive voice is mostly incorrect or not used.
