Activity:

Students listen to a song from a specific country or community.

Afterward, they discuss its references to people, places, or events.

The class then shares what they learned and reflects on the themes in the lyrics.

💡 Focus: The teacher may provide background on the artist or topic, or ask students to research the context.

Activity:

Students are given a worksheet with missing words in the lyrics of a song.

The teacher plays the song once all the way through, then again for students to complete the gaps.

After listening, students check their answers together and clarify any unfamiliar words or phrases.

💡Variation: Words may be drawn from a word bank or left entirely open, depending on the level.

Activity:

Students take a song they know — usually one with a repetitive, simple structure — and work in groups to rewrite the lyrics.

The class then shares their new versions, either by reading them or performing them.

💡 Focus: They may use vocabulary from a recent lesson or change the topic to something personal or funny.

Activity:

Students receive cut-up lines from part of a song — typically a verse or chorus — mixed up.

As they listen to the song, they work together to arrange the lines in the correct order.

After the activity, students read the completed lyrics aloud and review any new expressions.

💡 Tip: This is usually done as a race in pairs or groups.

Activity:

The teacher plays just a short clip from the beginning of several songs — a few seconds at most.

Students listen and try to guess what the song might be about.

Then, students listen to the whole song and compare their initial ideas with the lyrics.

💡 Tip: Songs can address previously covered topics.

# data[].attributes.body
Activity:

Students listen to a song and are asked to imagine what might have happened before, during, or after the situation described in the lyrics.

They write a story, diary entry, or dialogue based on their interpretation.

The stories are shared in pairs or groups, and follow-up questions are discussed as a class.

💡 Optional: Students proofread each other's texts or these are read out loud.

Activity:
The teacher plays a few short music clips in different moods or genres.

After each, students write down or say how the music makes them feel.

The teacher collects their responses and uses them to build a word list or lead a class discussion.

💡Variation: Students may also rate the songs or connect them to personal experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
Activity:

After reading through the full lyrics of a song, students are asked to find examples of a specific language feature — such as verbs in the past tense, modal verbs, or conditional forms.

They highlight or underline the examples and then discuss what those forms express in the context of the lyrics.

💡Optional: The teacher then reviews the examples on the board and links them to a grammar rule.

Activity:

The class focuses on a short, rhythmic section of a song — usually a chorus or repeated phrase.

The teacher plays it slowly and models how it sounds, then students repeat or “shadow” the lines, mimicking pronunciation, rhythm, and stress.
