THE SONG BINGO

This is a nice activity to explore song lyrics in a multi-skills way.

Objective - To work on students' listening abilities and to develop listening accuracy.
Proficiency level - Any
Age level - Any 
Materials - A sheet of paper with the grid and the word bank and another with the lyrics.

• Choose a song that you feel your students will enjoy and be able to understand.

• Pick up several words from the lyrics. Make sure you cover the entire song, not just the beginning or the end.

• On a sheet of paper, make a grid with as many blanks as you want (same number of lines and columns).

• Make a word bank with the words you have chosen from the lyrics. Make sure there are many more words in the bank than there are blanks in the grid.
• Ask students to choose words from the bank and write them on the grid.
• Play the song. Students have to cross out the words they hear. 
• The student who crosses out a line in any direction is the champion.

Give the students the sheet with the entire lyrics and let them have fun singing.
