This ‘Make a Match’ game is a fun way for pupils in Year 4 to match sentences that contain the same information written as direct and reported speech.
The game can be played as a class or in a small group and is perfect for adult led interventions to revisit key knowledge and skills.
What is included in this KS2 grammar games pack?
- 2 heading cards (Direct Speech and Reported Speech)
- 26 sentence cards
Direct speech writes exactly what a person says, punctuated using inverted commas and other speech punctuation.
For example:
‘Everyone must follow the rules,’ explained Roger.
What is reported speech?
Reported speech states what someone said without necessarily reporting their actual words.
For example:
Roger explained that the rules must be followed by everyone.
