Music bingo › Birthday
Music bingo at a birthday party
A birthday with a circle of chairs in the living room changes completely once there is something to do. Music bingo works better than a game with rules, because everyone understands it within half a minute.
Build the list around the birthday person: the music of their youth, the songs from their first concerts, the hits of their birth year. That makes it personal without any extra effort.

Build the list around the birth year
Take the biggest hit of every year of their life. For a fiftieth birthday that gives you a musical timeline of fifty songs, exactly enough for an evening, and every song means something to somebody in the room.
Small group, small card
With ten people in a living room, choose a 3 by 3 card and half an hour of playing time. There is a winner quickly and the conversation can simply continue.
Prizes from the cupboard
For a birthday you do not need to buy anything. A bottle of wine from your own supply, the last piece of cake or a homemade certificate works just as well as something expensive.
