I agree with Harry. In general, this exercise is called "fill-in-the-blanks". If you wanted to describe the entire activity, you could say, "Listen to the song then complete the lyrics by filling in the blanks".

I don't think we have a specific word for this (as far as I know). It's quite okay to call it 'filling in the blanks' or a 'fill-in-the-blanks exercise'.
