1. Divide the class into two teams- one for active voice, and the other for passive voice. Do some activity (like bouncing a ball, or lifting a book). Ask the teams to frame the sentence in active/passive voice.

2. Conduct a quiz for the two teams (Team Active and Team Passive), with simple questions like the inventor of the bulb, author of harry potter, etc. The active team should answer only in the active voice, and the passive team in the passive voice.

3. Call out three students. Each person has to be given a subject/verb/object (Eg: Anu, write, letter). Ask them to create sentences in both active and passive voices using these three words.
