Present passive

Present simple passive:

1. Beforehand, make cards with names of objects written on them, e.g. scissors, shirt, cell phone, pen, pillow, blanket, shoes, computer, broom, paper, etc.

2. Divide the class into two groups.

3. A student from one group comes to the front and picks a card. He/she then gives clues using the present simple passive to help his/her group guess the object.
For example, if the card reads "stapler", sample clues would be: "It's used for keeping papers together. It's made from metal and plastic. It's used in offices and schools."

4. For every grammatically correct clue, the team earns a point. If after three clues the team doesn't guess, the other team gets the chance to guess.


Present continuous passive:

1. Beforehand, make cards with activities in present perfect passive, such as:
-His hair is being cut.
-The floor is being swept.
-A book is being read.

2. Divide the class into two groups.

3. A student from one group comes the front and draws a card. He/she then gestures what the card says, for his/her team to guess. If after 10 secodns the team hasn't guessed, the other team is allowed to guess it.
