Here’s a game that can be played a couple different ways. Put headphones on a kid and have them sing songs only they can hear while their teammate attempts to guess the song.

In the past, we played it where they had a certain amount of time to guess as many songs as possible.

The last time we did it, we timed teams to see how long it took each time to correctly guess 10 songs.

Here are some things we learned:

1. Pick songs nearly every kid will know.
2. Edit the songs so to take the intro music out.  We edited our 10 songs starting in the middle of verses, that way if a kid really knew it they’d get it before it got to the obviousness of the chorus.
3. Stress how important it is to keep singing or even humming.  It gets really dull to just have someone stand up there.
4. Speaking of just standing there, make sure you have a kid who will go all out or this can really flop.

With the 10 song timed versions of the game, we edited each song to exactly a minute.  That way if they didn’t get it within a minute it would automatically go to the next song.  In case you’re wondering how long this game could last, cause it seems like it might get long, our winning time was 3 minutes & some seconds.  Our losing time was almost 5 minutes.  When we do it again, we’ll make sure to do a few less songs.

Here’s one of our best performances.
