9 Fun Game Ideas for Your karaoke Party
Following are some amazing karaoke games that you need to try if you want to convert your boring party into a fun-filled experience:
1. Freeze While Dancing
Requirements:
- Your karaoke setup
- Pens and Paper
How to Play?
You can play this karaoke game with minimal equipment. In this game, you have to divide the contestants into two groups or make the team comprising you all and play against the moderator or the party’s host.
Play a song of your choice on the karaoke machine. Let the team dance on it. The moderator or the opposite team will pause the song whenever they want, and as the song stops, you all are supposed to freeze (become statues).
The opponent team or the moderator will try their best to make you laugh or unfreeze you with any gesture or acting or whatever. But try not to unfreeze. The one who moves the first will be punished or will have to sing the song all alone.
2. Mix-up and Sing a Song
Requirements:
- 2 bowls
- Small paper chits
- Pens
- Your karaoke setup
How to Play the Game?
On the paper chits, write down the names of the songs and then put them all in a bowl. Also, write the names of famous singers on the pieces of paper and put these chits in another bowl. Now everybody, turn by turn, will be asked to choose a chit from both the bowls. Now, the player has to sing the song in the style of the respected singer (mentioned on the chit).
For instance, if a song like Bad Guy is sung and performed by Taylor Swift. How will it sound like?
3. Blind Singing Audition
Can you guess the voice of the singer? Try playing this game and add a lot of fun to your karaoke party.
Requirements:
- Chairs for the judges
- Pens and paper
- Your karaoke setup
How to Play?
Set up all the chairs in a row while facing their back to the singer. The player will try to sing a song but not in their usual singing voice. The players sitting in the opposite direction will try to guess who the singer is without knowing the person. The one who guessed it right will get the point or will be the winner of the game.
To make this game easy, try to make some judges – the ones sitting on the chair. And the rest of the players perform one by one. The judge who guesses the most right will get the highest points and be the ultimate winner! Then repeat the game with another set of judges.
4. Karaoke Roulette
Karaoke roulette is the classical party game because it is the easiest game with clear rules, is easy to set up, and needs minimal equipment.
Requirements:
- Pens
- Paper chits
- Your karaoke setup
- A bowl, hat, or cap
How to Play?
The game starts with writing every guest’s name on paper chits and putting them in a bowl, a hat, or a cap. Scroll through the long list of available best karaoke songs. Pause the scrolling, and whatever the song comes up, the player has to perform that random song.
If you want to simplify it even more, there is an app called Karaoke Roulette. You need to shake your phone, and the app will choose a random song for the player. Once the song is confirmed, draw a name chit from the bowl, and whoever’s name is drawn gets to sing the song.
5. Karaoke Team Parody
This one’s a fun karaoke game played in teams but is most suitable for a close group of friends only. Play this game in the evening when everyone is relaxed.
Requirements:
- Karaoke setup
How to Play?
Set up two different teams. The players of each team have to perform a parody of a famous song by changing the lyrics on their own within the given time, around 20 to 30 minutes. Once the time is over, start performing.
6. Karaoke Song Charades
The best part of this game is that most people already know it.
Requirements:
- Guests
- Your karaoke setup
How to Play?
Make two or more teams. The player from the team will think of a song and has to act it out without uttering a single word or making noises. (First, you have to clarify the numbers of the words you are about to act with the help of fingers)
All you can do is acting. The team has to guess the song in one minute only. If they manage to guess it correctly, they’ll earn a point. At the end of the game, the team with the highest points wins!
7. Guess the Lyrics of the Song
This is another classic TV game that you can play at your home, and your guest will surely love it. It can be played either by making teams, duos, or one on one. It’s an entertaining game in which you have to guess the song’s lyrics.
Requirements:
- Paper and Pen
- Your karaoke setup
How to Play?
The first way to play this game is by choosing a moderator or the judge for the game. They would then pick a random song and sing a line from that particular song by hiding the next lyrics. The one who guesses the next line first will win a point or even the game.
Another way to play this game is by setting two teams. Each team will think of the song (and, of course, to decrease the chance of the other team winning, one needs to choose an obscure or difficult song). The opponent team would have to guess the lyrics.
8. Sing from a Chosen One Word
A super easy game that requires no equipment but your karaoke setup. It is a great way to get everyone involved.
Requirements:
- Players
- Your karaoke setup
How to Play?
Split the players into two teams. Start the game by choosing a popular song and then select any word from its lyrics. The opponent team has to start singing a song with the chosen word. Repeat the same process and go back and forth between the teams. The game ends when one team cannot think of the song. To make it difficult, the whole team cannot participate. One player has to be nominated to sing the song.
9. Sing with a Bun in your Mouth
Requirements:
- Buns
- Players
How to Play?
In this fun game, a player will be given a bun with which he has to sing a song (bun is not to eat but to keep in the mouth only). The rest of the team members have to guess the song.
You can modify the game by giving one bun to each member of the team. This will make the guessing difficult too.
