On the board, write 2-3 examples: "I love chocolate." - She said she loved chocolate. "We're tired." - They said they were tired. Remind students: -Change pronouns. -Shift tenses (Present - Past, etc.). -Drop quotation marks.

Explain students they will write facts about them in different tenses, we will mix them and a person will read randomly choose one and read it aloud for somebody to guess who originally said it. Once somebody guesses the original narrator, they'll have to transform the sentence into a reported one using the corresponding narrator and verb tense.

Each student writes two sentences about themselves on a small slip of paper (e.g., "I don't like spicy food."). They must be true but not too obvious. Give them 10 minutes Collect the slips and shuffle them. Optional: Use the same color of paper or fold them to make guessing harder.

A student reads a sentence aloud from the pile: "I'm afraid of frogs." The class guesses: "Was it Carla?" Confirm the correct speaker, then ask the student who guessed it to report it: "Carla said she was afraid of frogs." Continue with another student and another quote.
