About this template

Can students identify if a line is from an iconic song lyric or a famous poem? Dive into words from Taylor Swift to Edgar Allan Poe in this exciting guessing game!

How it works

The aim is to sort the quotes to the right author or singer on each screen. The correct answers are shown after each round. Students can discuss or vote (just add a handy Poll widget!) on whether they think it’s from a singer or a poet. Each quote encourages them to consider language style and themes to make their guess. After each round, reveal the answer and discuss why the words might reflect a song lyric or a line of poetry.
