Consequently, the students feel bored and even lack of their motivation in learning English. One way to make the environment in the classroom becomes interesting is by using inserting pictures in missing lyrics of children songs. This technique can be conducted as a recreational activity to avoid monotonous routines. Through inserting pictures in missing lyrics’ technique, the students will have fun and understand their lesson easily. It is expected that the students will have higher motivation because the activity could catch the interest. Furthermore, by singing a song, it can also improve students’ pronunciation.
