You can play this game with as many people as you like but you must have at least two. It is very simple, it gets your mind going, helps to keep it alive and well fed, is fun and well, that's enough reasons isn't it?
The Song Game
You think of a song category. Then go around the room/ car/ bus/ train carriage/ breakfast table/ plane cabin / bush hut / holiday home/ disused mine shaft that your group has fallen into on a hiking trip…okay we will leave it there it is getting silly, to the people in turn, saying the name of the song that fits the category. If you can't think of one, you are out. The winner is the person who stays in with the most songs. You can play it with kids and adults alike.
