I need some help for tomorrow. Do you know any interesting activity to revise modal verbs? A song, video-clip... I �m teaching my students tomorrow, it �s their last hour after an exam and I �m sure is going to be very hard to catch their attention. They always feel very tired on Friday, I usually do something different but they �re having their English exam next week and I �d like to revise modals with them in a different way. Can you give me any ideas? They have to study must, have to, needn �t, mustn �t, should, may, might, can, can �t and could. I haven �t explained past modals yet. I �d apreciate your help.

You may want to make a worksheet and also make students to :

 

* Fill in the blanks with the correct modals they hear.

* Work in groups and  order pieces of the lyrics given in slip of papers by you. So the group who finishes first will be the winners.

*Work on team tournaments and make a "translation contest" of some parts of the song that you could pick up.

* Make them sing along the song, and choose the group whi sings the best.

 

Good luck!!
