Bop or Flop – Music Class Listening Game

Listen to paired songs and form an opinion about each

Indicate a preference with a check mark or cross; both songs may receive the same rating

Explain a musical preference using a feature heard in the song, as an optional teacher-led discussion

Six paired slides make a short session rather than a full lesson, which suits a lesson opener, a transition or the end of a music class

Each song sits behind its own prompt, so play both tracks before any marker moves — otherwise the first song collects votes by default

Twelve listening prompts across six rounds means checking that each one opens as expected before the class starts, since the whole activity depends on them

Attentive listening — students listen to linked songs before rating them.

Expressing preference — students mark each selection as a bop or flop, with the same rating allowed for both.

Using slide objects — students move or duplicate voting markers in an editing view.
