Reflexion:
This activity from the lexical approach is very useful for students to develop listening skills, one of the main goals of teaching a language is for students to understand it and feel comfortable with it, and listening to a song is a very didactic way of doing it. However, it is not easy to apply to a noisy crowd.
Level: first year of primary.
