Stressed Out

Speaking activities based on the 21 pilots song. Talking about what we used to do as kids and what we wish were different about life today.


Steps

All the steps below refer to activities using the PowerPoint attached at the bottom of this post.


1. Play the first minute of the song below (also embedded on Slide 2 of the PowerPoint).

"What is the song about about?"




2. Each of the white slides show lyrics from part of the song.

Students predict the missing words (maybe show on mini whiteboards) then listen to check by clicking the speaker icon in the top left corner of each slide. When you click elsewhere on the slide, it will progressively reveal picture clues or the missing lyrics.



3. Each of the blue slides has discussion questions using language structures from the song. Get learners to discuss the questions in pairs, then write a couple of sentences using the target language In their notebooks as appropriate.
