All levels reported speech running dictation

Would you like your students to move around while practicing reported speech and pronunciation? Don’t miss this activity! Worried that having 27 students running across the classroom might be too much? No problem—there’s a broken telephone version that keeps all the fun and engagement without the chaos!

This activity is tailored for every level, with four versions to suit your students’ needs:

Basic - Focuses on reported speech with “say,” backshifting verbs, and time/place expressions.

Intermediate - Expands to reported speech with “say,” “tell,” and “ask.”

Advanced - Introduces different reporting verb patterns, with reporting verbs provided.

Extra-challenging advanced - Challenges students to use different reporting verb patterns, with reporting verbs inferred rather than provided.
