Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous Songs

YOUTUBE GRAMMAR DETECTIVE 
Activity for Past Simple, Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous

Student Task Sheet (for 12 students)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/124swxGwS__GQlpo8mZ2BBKZr9dru1zV7PJpVCKm828o/edit?usp=sharing

Also, below please find quite a few links to songs that have the present perfect/ present perfect continuous in them which may support the activity above especially if you want to change or adapt it. But the general idea is to get the students to find the songs themselves.

Students may head straight to videos with lyrics, try to discourage this and get them to listen to original videos first... the second/third run-through could be with the versions + lyrics.


Songs, including ones not in the worksheet:
