Festive Lyric Match | Christmas EFL Listening and Recall Activity

Bring some quick festive energy into your classroom with Festive Lyric Match, a lively activity where students match opening lyric lines to ten well-known Christmas songs. The resource includes first lines, second lines and song titles, ready to cut, mix and display around the room or hand out as a jumbled set for groups to sort.

Students read the lyrics, discuss possibilities and piece the matches together, making it an easy way to build recognition, recall and English reading fluency. It works as a short, active task that gets students thinking, talking and engaging with familiar Christmas music.

This resource is also part of our Christmas 2025 | EFL Resource Pack, which is available to download here.

Perfect For:

• Seasonal lessons that need a quick, interactive task.
• Pair or group work focused on reading, matching and recall.
• Classes that enjoy music, movement and fast-paced challenges.
