Lateral Thinking Questions
A list of lateral thinking problems (with solutions). Simply give the students (best in groups of 2-5), one problem at a time and have them ask you questions to find the solution.

Black Eyed Peas- �Meet Me Halfway�
Very topical song! With songs I like to give the students (in groups of 2-5....or whatever is your preference), the lyrics of the song, but with certain words missing, and cut into strips. The students then have to listen to the song and put the lyrics in order (no writing yet). After 1-3 times (depending on difficulty etc), give each individual st...

�Broken Strings� by James Morrison
As with the other song I have submitted, how you use this is really up to you. However, some suggestions....my students love it when I cut up the lyrics (into verses, an not too small), and they have to listen and re-order the song. Also, in this song I have put the missing words in their base form in brackets. For low levels you may want to do thi...
