Music and Film | EFL Resource Pack for Teaching English Through Music and Film

Music and film aren’t just fun topics, they’re part of your students’ daily lives. Whether it’s streaming songs, quoting favourite films, or following pop trends, these are subjects learners already care about and connect with. That makes them the perfect way to get students talking, thinking and using English in meaningful ways.

This complete EFL resource pack brings together nine engaging, low-prep activities built around those themes. From puzzles and quizzes to creative writing, logic challenges and group games, each task is designed to build vocabulary, confidence and fluency all through topics your students already know and love.

Use it for a themed project week or as a go-to source of adaptable classroom resources. It’s flexible, accessible, and packed with opportunities for real-world language use.

What’s Included:

• Music and Film Puzzles & Vocabulary – Wordsearches, gap-fills, crosswords, and vocab games with a full glossary to build essential music and film vocabulary.
• Music & Film Quiz – A lively, three-round quiz covering artists, films, locations, and lyrics with visual and team-based elements.
• Movie Mix-Up – A genre-matching task where students categorise film blurbs and discuss tone, story type, and descriptive language.
