Default Practice activities - passive

Hello,

I am teaching the passive tomorrow and struggling to find practice activities on the net and in my course book. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So far I have:
  • Passive Dominos - from Cutting edge resource book
  • Amazing facts quiz game from Reward Resouce Pack

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Charde

Here is a good activity to practice the passive voice in the present simple tense.

Oh thank you so much..... I am struggling to set up the context for the lesson! Because all the practice activities jump from one thing to another.

I don't get it. When I tutored writing, I was always trying to teach people not to use the passive voice!
