There are two ways to gamify music videos: LyricsTraining.com and competitive quiz platforms like Kahoot and Quizizz. LyricsTraining is a teacher-fronted activity, so no mobile devices are necessary. When playing multiple choice mode, the whole class can participate just by watching the screen and shouting out their answers. Quizizz can go either way. When doing listening in the past, I found that students' devices sometimes did not have the sound settings right, so they couldn't play. It was a big hassle, so I played the Quizizz on the desktop computer and made it teacher-fronted by calling on students to come and click the mouse. Quizizz now has a game mode like Kahoot, so it's possible to let the kids play together on mobile devices. But, Kahoot is still my go-to game center for listening games. The video will show in a small screen and then students can answer the questions.
Lyricstraining: Links below open in a new tab. I recommend that you select CHOICE mode because it's easier to play with a whole class as a teacher-fronted activity. The site will prompt you to create a free account in a light blue box. You can skip it by clicking on Maybe later under the box.

Listening Kahoots
Listening Kahoots
These kahoots show clips of Youtube videos and ask questions. Set up the Kahoot for play by keeping the question order, but selecting randomly ordered answers. There are some non-question items which simply show the whole music video. Encourage kids to listen to the whole song and then select an "OK" option when they are ready to answer real questions. Then the questions will show just a short clip of the video and ask a question about the segment that was played.

Tests listening by mixing lyrical sound clips and spoken sound clips. There is no MV, so I recommend that you show the MV to students first to prime them for the listening task.
