About:

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!… I forget what lyrics come next. I usually end up humming the next part because I can never remember what comes next.

Hopefully, your party guests will be able to remember what lyric comes next in this party game. There are different ways that you can play this game. You can play as the ultimate host and ask everyone for the next lyric. You can divide everyone into 2 teams, put the song cards in a bowl and see how many one team can go through in a minute. You would switch sides as soon as a minute is up and repeat until all of the song cards are gone. The last way to play is to divide everyone up into teams or families. Then the teams can use a sound effect on a group member’s phone or electronic device to buzz in and answer a question.

If you really want to go all out, then you should consider playing the music and freezing it to ask what the next line of the song is.

Materials Needed:

1. cards with the song line leading up to the song and the missing lyric on it
2. music (optional)
