Pass it on

-
Out if you blank
Run out of time, or sing something the group doesn't believe is real, and you're out. The caller gives the next player a fresh word.
How to win
The last singer standing wins.
From experience…
- Start with easy words like love, night, heart and baby. Then get mean: Tuesday, refrigerator.
- The group decides if a song is real. Humming doesn't count.
