Intro

This uplifting game is all about songs and their lyrics. It’s a whole lot of fun getting people to match the titles of popular songs with their first lines. With all that music in the air, you might find people spontaneously breaking into song!

It’s a great game to play, any time of the day.

The Activity

  1. Lay the cards with the first line of the song face up on the table
  2. Invite each person in turn to choose a song title card and try to match it with the first line of that song
  3. If playing as a group, it may help if the others start singing the song too
