I appreciate the visuals you have described in the song lesson above. Other strategies to use are: Gap fills or close texts mix ups Focus questions True-false statements Put these lines/words into the correct sequence Indicate the word stress Indicate the sentence stress Phonetics and intonation Dictation Add verses Add antonyms/synonyms of given words Spirited discussion and creative writing.
