Name That Tune: Humming Only
Hum songs, no lyrics. Teams race to name the artist and the title.
A phone
Anybody in the room
Sitting down
None needed
How to run it
Teams. One man hums, no words, no tapping out the rhythm.
The turn
- He picks one off the list and hums it for as long as he can stand.
- First team to shout the title takes the point. Artist is a bonus point.
- Nobody hums twice in a row, and a song is done once it has been got.
Worth knowing
- The list is the pool and everybody can see it. Humming with no pool is guesswork.
- Rounds of ten. Whoever is humming cannot score that round.
What you need
- A phone and a speaker
Before the day
Nothing to buy. The thirty below are the pool and everyone can see it, which is the only thing that makes a hummed song guessable. Queue the same thirty in a playlist if you would rather play intros.
If it goes badly
Lowest team performs one chorus as a cappella backing vocals.

Fayla builds the whole weekend around it — a scoreboard everybody can see, a shopping list that writes itself out of the things you picked, and one link for the group chat.
