This is a fun activity with music and video. The students should be intermediate, and have learnt the comparative form of the adjetives. With this activity, the students will be able to find the adjectives in the comparative form and learn a little more of vacabulary

1- Put the students in groups of 3 or 4
2- Ask them if they have watched the 3 movies of Shrek and which they liked best.
3- Which song or songs do they remember from the movies. It's likely they some of them will remember a song by Counting Crows called "Accidentally in love" but they may not remember the name. In this case, ask them to sing a part of the song.
4- Play the video clip once and ask them to pay attention to the scenes and try to figure out what is going on.
5- Ask them if they remember in which of the three movies they have seem a similar situation.
6- Give them the lyrics and ask them to find all the adjectives used in the comparative form in the song and underline them. (longer, faster, closer, higher, lighter, tighter, brighter)
7 - Ask the students to figure out the meanings of these adjectives.
8- Play the song again and ask them to sing everybody together, the best singer will get a strawberry ice.
