Sing Along Bingo

Bingo cards are printed with a variety of familiar song titles instead of numbers as in traditional bingo. Different themes are available upon request. Titles are chosen randomly and the song is named and sung with the piano while players find the square. Singing along is encouraged! The person who gets a complete row calls bingo and wins a small token prize (pack of life savers, notepad etc.) Additional songs are sung between games. 50 players maximum. Game lasts approximately 50-60 minutes. Christmas carol and “Love Song” versions also available! ($10 prize fee applies)

Name that Tune

Christine plays the song and if the group can name the song and/or sing along, they get a point. If not, then Christine gets the point. (She never wins!) This version focuses more on remembering familiar songs and the enjoyment the music brings and not so much on the points. Very fun and interactive! Excellent for memory care units as it is a “no-fail activity.” A team version is available upon request for high functioning residents. Game lasts 50-60 minutes.
