Rasmus Race
Submitted by: Raegina Taylor Borrowed or inspired from: Tokyo re-contracting Date added: 01-08-08 Brief Outline: Students race to collect the lyrics around the room, then try to order the song lyrics. Materials Needed:
- One worksheet per group
- Song ‘The Rasmus- In the Shadow’
Detailed Explanation:
Students work in groups of 3 or 4.
There are lyrics posted up around the room.
Play the song verse twice to get students familiar with the sound of the music.
One student is the writer and the other two are the runners. Runners have to memorize lines of the lyrics and tell them to the writer. The writer may not leave.
Students race to collect the lines. When the groups have finished, check their sentences to make sure they are correct.
Play the verse and students try to order the sentences. Give points after first and second playing.
Song ‘The Rasmus: In the Shadow’
I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
Tips or Cautions:
- For lower-level, take out lyrics. For higher-level, add lyrics
- Keep playing the song until all groups can order the sentences. Give points according to the fastest order of sentences.
