True...

Technically, yes. The faster the particles move, the more heat they give off. So therefore, when we actually take a temperature, it is in theory, the measrue of the speed of the particles.

Improvement:

Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a particular substance. Kinetic energy is associated with the speed of particles by KE=(1/2)mv2. Particles do not technically 'give off heat' when they move since by laws of thermodynamics heat is a transfer of energy between substances and the term does not apply in this circumstance.
