Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for take-off with this fun investigating speech activity!

Using a travel theme, this activity can be used to check or increase student understanding of the difference between quoted and reported speech.

Each student receives a passport with a stamp collection page and answer sheets. Lay out the eight activity cards around a large space, such as your classroom, amphitheatre or even outdoors in nature. Students find each card and write their answers on the corresponding answer keys, shading in the passport stamps as they progress until the page is complete.

Colour and black & white printing options are available. Activity cards can be enlarged to A3 if required to make them easier to find and read, or leave them at their standard A4 sizing to create a tricky scavenger hunt! Additional blank passport pages are also provided for students who require additional writing space.

This activity works well as a summative activity after completing Quoted & Reported Speech Worksheets or Story Writing Using Quoted Speech.

You may also find it helpful to use Quoted & Reported Speech Posters as anchor charts for the students to refer to when completing this activity for a cohesive learning experience.
