Missing Vowel Songs

Notes

Here’s another great idea I picked up from Wyn Parry’s Spellbound workshop in Lérida.  Give students the lyrics of a song, but with all the vowels missing.  They should then try to recreate the lyrics and work out what song it is.  Here’s an easy one to get you started…

Y__’r_ h_t th_n y__’r_ c_ld

Y__’r_ y_s th_n y__’r_ n_

Y__’r_ _n th_n y__’r_ __t

Y__’r_ _p th_n y__’r_ d_wn

Y__’r_ wr_ng wh_n _t’s r_ght

Y__’r_ bl_ck wh_n _t’s wh_t_

W_ f_ght, w_ br__k _p

W_ k_ss, w_ m_k_ _p

    This is a great activity. I’ve also seen it for higher levels with just the first letter of each word and underscores for each missing letter.

    It takes a while to prep the worksheet though, with all the deleting and dashing etc!
