A song is a sure-fire winner in the classroom and what could be better than introducing your students to the all time classic, Friday I'm in Love by The Cure.
Even better news is that the lyrics are clear enough for a gap fill exercise.
Surely you've got it on your iPod. If not get it here Youtube
Gap fill + full lyrics below.
And at the bottom of the posting is a fun exercise testing your students' knowledge of love collocations, followed by a discussion about chat-up lines.
All yours. Maybe do it on a Friday. Just a thought.

The Cure - Friday I'm in Love. Complete lyrics
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
Sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
