Educational Games Music Box
( Educational, Guessing, Memory, Pen and Paper, Singing and Song )Each player is given a slip of paper and pencil. Some one who has a good repertoire of popular airs sits at the piano–or lacking a piano may sing without words–and goes briefly through snatches of one air after another each of the players writing on his slip of paper the name of the air or leaving a blank if he be unable to name it. The one wins who names the largest number of airs correctly.
This is an admirable game to use for old ballads such as “Annie Laurie ” “Suwanee River ” “My Old Kentucky Home ” “Blue Bells of Scotland ” etc. or for national airs or for both together. In a company that is well up on current music airs from current songs and popular operas may be used successfully.
