1. Karaoke Charades
This game is a twist on the classic charades. Split your guests into teams and choose one player from each team to be the first “singer.”
The singers act out a famous karaoke song without speaking, while others guess. If the team guesses correctly, they earn a point. The first team to get five points wins.
2. Name That Tune
This is a favorite among karaoke lovers and involves everyone. Play a song and let your guests name the artist and title.
The first to guess both correctly earns a point. The player with the most points at the game’s end wins.
3. Karaoke Scavenger Hunt
The karaoke scavenger hunt gets everyone up and moving. Split guests into teams and give them a list of items to find or tasks to complete.
Each item on the list could relate to karaoke, like finding a CD with a karaoke song or taking a picture of someone singing into a microphone. The first team to finish the list wins.
4. Rewrite the Song
This game is perfect for those who love to sing. Split the players into teams and give each a verse of a popular karaoke song to rewrite.
The rewritten verses can be silly or serious. Each team performs the songs for the other guests, who then guess which song is being sung.
5. Don’t Forget the Lyrics
Want to test your guest’s karaoke skills? This game is perfect. One player sings a line from a popular karaoke song.
The next player sings the following line. Forget the lyrics, and you’re out. The last player standing wins.
One method involves the moderator playing a song and pausing it at a point where the lyrics are hidden. Players must then guess the missing lyrics, either as a team or individually.
6. Karaoke Quiz
The karaoke quiz game is great for testing your knowledge. Create a quiz with questions about famous karaoke songs, artists, or lyrics. Teams compete to see who answers the most questions correctly.
7. Karaoke Roulette
This is a fun game for your next karaoke party. Write down everyone’s name, put them in a bowl, and draw one. That person then sings a karaoke song, chosen at random or by the other players, for everyone to hear.
8. Song Association
Song association livens up any party. Players, either solo or in teams, write down words and put them in a bowl or hat. Then, each player or team draws a word and thinks of a song that includes it.
Depending on the set rules, it might be in the title or lyrics. Adding a no-repeat rule can make it more challenging; no song can be repeated, even if it has a different word.
9. Guess the Album
Play a random song, and most people know the title. Make your party more exciting with a guess the album game. Participants guess the album a song belongs to. Get it right, earn a point; get it wrong, you’re out!
10. Song Mix-Up
Grab two bowls, write various song titles on pieces of paper for one bowl, and famous singers’ names for the second bowl. Each player picks one piece from each bowl and sings the song in the style of the artist they selected. This game is perfect for large gatherings and ensures everyone has a good laugh.
