Gamify learning
The song is about a girl that Nicky lost due to his high-paced lifestyle involving a lot of travelling. The song’s music video was filmed in Medellín, Colombia, where Nicky honed his sound after years of legal struggles and substance abuse
Scenario 1
Get students to play Challenge + set them a target
In Lirica's Play tab, you'll find collections of songs, categorised by genre. Ask your students to click on the song of your choice and go to 'Challenge' in the top right. 'Start game' will bring the student into a game in which they must answer questions as quickly as they can, in a bid to win 10 points rather than 5. Students translate lyrics and fill the gap, amongst other interactions, hearing the song along the way. Over a certain threshold, the player wins a gold disc - over a higher threshold, a diamond disc.
Why not challenge your students to win a diamond disc?
When they've finished, the Challenge home screen will show how many points they've won and whether they've won a disc. They can screenshot this and show you.
Scenario 2
Test students' vocab memory after a song lesson
Ask your student to find a particular song in the Learn tab, based on a topic that you're currently covering. Have them compete the listening and vocabulary sections of a couple of verses, then test their memory of the words they've learned afterwards.
