This song never gets old. Practise action verbs and everyday vocabulary with this colourful pairing activity based on the humorous safety campaign Dumb Ways to Die. In part 2 of this worksheet series, students match ten descriptions of reckless behaviour to their illustrations, including the song’s railway-safety scenes. As a follow-up, you can use the illustrations for guided grammar practice, asking students to describe the possible consequences of each reckless action.

The language focus in this ESL / EFL printable worksheet / interactive quiz includes vocabulary for physical actions and expressions describing locations. 

Follow-up activities

Sing-along
As a follow-up, students can sing along using the illustrations as visual prompts. The pictures follow the order of the corresponding lines in the song. This is Part 2, covering the remaining verses and railway-safety message. Combine it with Part 1 to practise the song from beginning to end. You can listen to the song here: <a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw</a>

Arranging cutouts
Alternatively, you can also make cutouts from the illustrations, then play the song and ask students to put each one in order as they hear the corresponding line in the song.

Guided grammar production activities
For additional speaking/writing practice, students can explain the dangers and turn the captions into warnings using Don’t… or You shouldn’t…. or talk about consequences using the Frist Conditional, e.g. If you drive around the boom gates, you may be run over by a train.

Discussion
Another follow-up speaking activity could be to discuss the dangers in cities.

Level: Suggested for A2-B1 learners 
(the illustrations and the video of the song help a great deal in understanding meaning, and the teacher can also mime some of the more difficult expressions)

Age group: Teenagers and adults
