Materials

  • Something to listen to music on (phone, tablet, computer...)

Instructions

Choose a piece of music you particularly enjoy. Make other participants guess it by only tapping the rhythm of the music with your hands (without giving any hints to the lyrics, title, or melody).

Repeat the rhythm as many times as necessary for the other players to guess correctly the title. If the rhythm is not enough for them to guess, give them a word related to the theme of the music but that’s not present in the lyrics (e.g.: the last day of disco by Juliette Armanet > disco ball).

Once the title is guessed correctly, you can play it for the group and explain your choice if you wish.
