Almost lover - lyrics worksheet
This is a wonderful song I did with my teenage students. They loved singing it, even though it feels kind of sad and melancholic. With my high school students, I had a discussion afterwards about the fine line between friendship and love, and about loving and being loved. All around, a very romantic lesson.

You�ve probably played associations before (maybe you call it differently), but if you haven�t, do try - it�s amazing how much fun it can be, how much language material you can cover with it, and kids soon start making them themselves, which is great.
