Children's Cheerleader Cheers | Cocojams. Prepositions ESL Grammar Game - Football (Soccer) Game. Reported Speech Soccer. The main activity for this section is Reported Speech Soccer. The game is really meant for small groups (between 2 and 8) as it is essential that the teacher referees. The game goes as follows: (1) The teacher prints a set of quotation cards (see Soccer Matches Below) and a game board. The quotation cards should be pasted onto cardboard and cut out. (2) The class is divided into two teams (or the whole class can play as one team against the teacher). (3) Teacher places a marker on the soccer field to represent a soccer ball. (4) There are three ways the teacher can proceed from here: (a) If it is the first game, the teacher can flip over a quotation card and the student whose turn it is reads the quote and reports what was said, heard, read, or thought.
(b) Once the students get good at it, the teacher can just read the card to the student instead of flipping it over and letting the student read. Reported Speech Soccer. Note the use of past tense. As mentioned already, there are times when you can use the present tense, but for this activity it is a good idea to make the students always use the past tense as it is more generally used. The past tense has to be applied to all subordinate clauses in the speech that is being reported as well. Look at the these examples. You will need to be mindful of them when you are refereeing the soccer match.
Students pick them up quite easily without any grammatical explanation. You just have to point them out once or twice. Past tense applied to an adjective clause: "I want to talk to anybody who wishes to join us. " He said that he wanted to talk to anybody who wished to join us. Past tense applied to an adverbial clause: "I will give you the jewel if you release the girl. " He said that he would give us the jewel if we released the girl. Past tense applied to a noun clause: "I don't think that I can do it. " He said that he didn't think he could do it. Reported Speech Soccer. Student Crossword | The World Cup.
