By means of this listening activity learners have to choose the right word, rearrange the sentences in some stanzas, rearrange phrases in paragraphs, and identify, and therefore inflect, the given infinitives in either simple present or simple past.
The images will hopefully help them get the meaning.The slides should be printed or projected so that the learners doing it can go through the lyrics at least once before they start listening to the song. The lyrics version will allow them to check their exercise. The karaoke version will enable them to improve stress, rhythm, intonation and pronunciation.
This listening activity is suitable for CEFR B1/B2, or intermediate and upper-intermediate students of English.
