Teach KS2 Active and Passive Voice effortlessly with the fun Zombie Trick! This premium SPaG song, game, and worksheet pack guarantees high engagement. Bring Grammar to Life (with Zombies!) Struggling to get your Years 5 and 6 students excited about statutory SPaG requirements? Enter The Inclusive Music Studio. We create high-energy, neuro-inclusive educational pop music designed to lower cognitive load and maximize memory retention. This comprehensive 14-file resource pack centers around the legendary “Zombie Trick”: If you can add the phrase “by zombies” after the verb and the sentence still makes grammatical sense, it’s written in the passive voice! (e.g., “The song was sung [by zombies]” = Passive. “Kane sang [by zombies] the song” = Active). It is silly, it is memorable and it works instantly. What is Included in this Premium 14-File Pack? You receive a full suite of high-quality, Inclusive Music studio branded resources to build a complete, interactive lesson: Audio & Visuals: Active & Passive Voice Original Song (.mp3): High-quality audio featuring Kane and Alfie teaching the rules.

The rhythmic, predictive timing of our pop tracks provides a framework that lowers cognitive load, making it exceptionally effective for EAL learners and students with SEND or dyslexia. The high-energy hooks trigger a dopamine response, locking the grammar rules into long-term memory.
