With this worksheet, the passive voice can be practiced in an interesting and engaging way, with exercises at varying levels of difficulty. The first worksheet includes two basic exercises: in the first, students rewrite sentences in the passive voice, and then they match sentence starters with the correct endings. The second worksheet prepares students for their own writing: after a typical fill-in-the-blank activity, they are encouraged to write their own crime report. Two difficulty levels are provided for this writing activity.    

You need another engaging and interactive activity for practising the passive voice? Check out this fun "If I could talk, what would I say?" game in PowerPoint format, in which your students must give inanimate objects a voice! Or would you rather like to revise "crime" vocabulary - then this activity (describe, mime, draw) game is perfect for you! For more advanced students, I can recommend this telepathy crime game.
