I prepared this worksheet on the song Grenade by Bruno Mars, at the request of my students.

Again, I needed a challenging worksheet for my students, so you´ll find various exercises: fill the gaps, choose the right word, the right spelling, find extra words, order lines, correct mistakes, fill gaps with past simple and antonyms, complete missing letters. I added a post-listening activity for checking vocabulary, the students have to choose the correct meaning for several expressions. I hope you like it!

This is a worksheet I made for my son, he´s studying the planets at school. They listened to this song in class and he loves it, so he asked me to make a worksheet. It is very easy. I also uploaded a post-listening activity, a crossword based on the song. The links are provided, or you can search in google/youtube for "we are the planets big and round", there are a lot of "planet song" otherwise :) The first link has partial lyrics on screen, the second has a slightly different animation and only planet names on screen. I hope you like it!

Song for kids: Planets / Solar System song

A hit from Justin Bieber´s last album. I tried to make a more challenging worksheet, so there are 10 different exercises while listening: complete missing letters (only with the official music video intro), fill the gaps, extra words and correct mistakes, choose the word, fill gaps with synonyms, pronouns, pairs of antonyms, unscramble letters, match and then order lines. Post-listening there is an original activity, they have to watch the video, stopped it where indicated, tell the time showed on the clock and say what happens. I hope you like it!

Song: What do you mean - Justin Bieber

I really like this song called "Rude" by Magic, so I created this lesson for my students who love learning English through songs. It's the first worksheet I share on islcollective so I hope you'll like it! :)

Rude by Magic

This listening exercise is a way to practise the forms of Past simple and Past continuous. Before listening to the song Jealous Guy by John Lennon ss go through the lyrics trying to predict the missing words  and figure out their forms. Then the teacher plays the song and draws ss' attention to the tenses used. In the exercise 2. ss are asked to show examples for each of these tenses in the song.

In ex. 1 they have to match the expressions used in the song with their descriptions. 

Past simple and Past continuous by John Lennon
