Word Grab
Age/Level: Elementary and above Time: 20 minutes Players: 2 teams

Preparation: 15 words from a song written down on pieces of paper

Aim: To listen for words in a song

This is a fun and lively ESL music game to play with your students.

Procedure

Choose a popular song that your students would like.

Pick 15 words from the song and write them down on separate pieces of paper.

Then, stick each word to the board.

Divide the class into two teams.

Have each team stand in a line in front of the board.

Next, play the song.

When the student at the front of each line hears a word from the song that is on the board,
they race each other to grab the word.

Teams win one point for each correct word they grab.

Once students have played, they go to the back of the line and the next two students at the
front of the line play.

The team with the most words wins.

You may have to play the song two or three times until all the words have been grabbed.

You can make this game more difficult by putting decoy words up on the board.
