1年生JHS Music Quiz: I, My, Me, Mine

I put together this music quiz for my 1st-year JHS classes who are reviewing "I, My, Me, Mine", and it’s been a hit. The design is similar to the Japan Musical Pursuit game, so if you like that format, this should be right up your alley!

There is a tiny review before the game starts. I show my kids 2 sentences and then have them tell me which of the two is grammatically right. Usually I just have them raise their hands, but if they wanna shout it out that works too haha

Setup

• Teams: Break the class into teams and give each team a whiteboard.
• Categories: The game has three: Missing Words, Which One, and Scene It. Each round, a team picks a category and number, and we play a song or video clip for their question.

How It Works

1. Missing Words: Students listen to a song clip and fill in the blanks with two-three missing words. They can listen multiple times if they need. Great for listening practice!

2. Which One: Students listen to a song and select the correct phrase from a multiple-choice list. They can listen multiple times if they need.

3. Scene It: A fun breather! Students watch a 1-2 minute clip from a music video and answer a random question that isn’t tied to grammar. It’s a break from the detailed listening, which keeps the energy up!

Optional Twist: For Missing Words and Which One, if I thought the kids might recognize the song or artist, I blanked out the album cover so they could try guessing for bonus points. You can completely ignore this~

Click on the album covers to play the song. Use the spacebar or the next button to reveal the answer.

Since the file size is 388 MB with all the videos, I made a version without embedded videos (below). I also included a PDF guide for adding the videos~

Important Notes

• The songs have all been cleaned to be PG-13 and all swear words were removed; but if you want to swap out for other songs, I found "Mine" by Taylor Swift or "My Way" with Frank Sinatra could fit well too.

Hope this helps bring some fun to your classes, too! 😊
