4 skills-Ed Sheeran

Hello everyone!

Hope you are having a great week! Today I bring you an interesting activity to practice the listening, reading and writing skill. The activity is about listening to a song, in this case is Ed Sheeran "Shape of you". But if you do not like it or you can think about another one that your students will be more interested about, you can change it.  My students of sixth grade are very motivated with this singer so, let's take advantage of it!  The activity is about removing some words from the lyrics that pupils must guess. As in my class there are some students with low level of English, I will add the removed words at the bottom of the page, in order to give them some clues. 

As they will have to read the lyrics, they will be practising the reading skill and the writing skill when writing the missing words. Finally, you can even sing the song to practice the speaking. All in all, this is a funny activity to practice together the four basic linguistic skills!
