The teacher wants to meet us during the break.

Begin with ( we)

I suggest

we are asked to meet the teacher.

Does it work?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it works.

Thank you so much

Are there any other structures which/that can be used instead of these above? [(want) as we use( possess) instead of ( have) in the passive form?]

Thanks again.

Maybe a pseudo passive form could work as well.

The teacher wants to have us met during the break.

You didn't read my post well.Begin with (we).

You sentence doesn't give the same meaning as mine.Read it again.

Please tell your question again but not this way below
"instead of (want) as we use( possess) instead of ( have) in the passive form?"

Thanks

Almost. 'We are asked to meet the teacher during the break.'

We are wanted to be met during the break.

I think this sentence works in some cases.
We are playing game. Teacher is watching on us.
I say to you

We are wanted to be met during the break.

Is this OK?

No, that doesn't work. We can be "wanted by someone", we can't be "wanted to be". You could say "We are wanted by the teacher during the break", but I find it a bit clumsy.
