Pedagogical strategies with songs

 * scramble (provide all the lyrics cut into sections, partners or small groups have to arrange the lyrics while listening to the song)
 * karaoke & sing along
 * create a music video for a song
 * create an additional verse
 * create photos/drawings to accompany song
