I’m back! What?! What y’all know about that? What?! What?!
Oh, ahem. Hi, hello there. I’ve not been doing much posting as of late. To make up for that, I’m gonna try to double up here.
As things wind down to a close and the kids finish their schoolwork and take their exams, we’re left in a bit of a lull until the actual end of the course. And of course, the people want songs. Songs, songs, songs.
So here’s one. It’s related to sports and sports vocabulary. It’s “We Like Sportz” by the Lonely Planet, from their album Incredibad. It’s kind of hilarious. Could be appropriate for that unit related to sports in your typical pre-intermediate/intermediate level. The “cheating sux!” line goes perfectly with Unit 1C from New English File Intermediate, for example.
It starts with a little vocabulary word-map / brainstorming activity. Then there’s a listen-and-tick-the-things-you-hear joint. Then you got a little correct-the-rhyme-scheme, then-listen-and-check joint. Then a little fill-in-the-blank action. Then some discussion activity type flavor–do a “Why? Why? Why?” game in pairs, then talk about it together as a group.
