Ear training and pronunciationRemove all the rhyming words from a popular song. Give the students those words mixed up on a piece of paper or on the board.Match the words which rhyme. Then try to guess what the song might be about.Listen to the song and put the rhyming ending words in order as they hear them. Then give out a lyrics sheet and they insert the missing rhymes. This is good for vowel contrasts and practice of key vowels or consonants.
