English Lyrics Challenge
Activity Overview
In September, Jhong Siao Elementary School held an English Lyrics Challenge to encourage students to practice English listening skills in a fun and engaging way. This activity allowed students to learn English through music while improving their word recognition and listening accuracy.
How the Activity Worked
Three English YouTube songs were selected and divided according to grade levels to match students’ English abilities:
Grades 1–2: 1,2, It's time for school - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo943RrX4MA
Grades 3–4: The phases of the moon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt_LtIJyISQ
Grades 5–6: What do you like to do? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nddRGDEKxA0
Interested students each received a worksheet with missing words. Students listened to the assigned song and circled the correct word based on what they heard.

Learning at Home
Students were given one day to take the worksheet home. During this time, they listened to the song multiple times and completed the activity at their own pace. This helped students build confidence and practice English listening in a relaxed environment.
Certificates and Rewards
Students who actively participated and performed well in the challenge received certificates and small rewards as encouragement. This recognition motivated students to enjoy learning English and feel proud of their effort.
