Spontuneous: The Song Game
Got a budding singer in the bunch? Or a tone-deaf crooner? Either way, you’ll have hilarious fun with Spontuneous, The Song Game. If you’re the type of person who breaks into song when you hear a certain word, this is your new fav game! Listen up! Each player composes a “Hit List” of “Trigger Words.” When it’s your turn, share a word from your list and flip the timer. The first player to sing (or shout) at least five words from any song that features the Trigger Word gets to move forward in the game. Make sure you’re paying attention because you could get an extra musical challenge at any time! Games average 30 minutes (great for the littler ones) and if you’re not comfortable singing, shout it out!…and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find out you should go audition for that singing TV show!
