With the unpredictable weather in the Philippines, it can be a pain to go out. Even if the country has two seasons, it’s enough to give going out a double take. That’s why, Filipinos have come up with ways on how to have fun without having to get out of the house.

Filipinos love singing - that’s a proven fact. Whether good at it or not, it doesn’t matter. Renting a karaoke machine in the Philippines is pretty normal on most occasions. Moreover, owning a home karaoke machine in the Philippines is expected in a Filipino home. After all, it’s the national pastime of the country and its people.

Because it’s not new to anyone anymore, there are ways to make karaoke more interesting. Here are games that you can do with your friends, family, and guests:

Name that Tune

This can be played by teams or taking turns. One person will be the singer. The rest will be competing against one another on naming the tune first sung by the singer. The first one to call out the correct title gets the point.

Misheard Lyrics

Players are given 15 seconds to test their creativity by coming up with a silly version of the chosen song’s lyrics. The wittiest or funniest one wins, of course.

Karaoke Roulette

Place all player’s name in a box and scroll through the song list of the best professional karaoke system. If you have a Platinum Cello, then download the Platinum Link App so you can easily navigate the song list. Choose a random song and a random name. The player chosen would have to sing it!

Blind Auditions

Divide players into two teams. Each team will assign their champion (the person who they think knows everyone’s voice). Both will be asked to sit with their back to the members. Each member will be singing simultaneously while each team’s champion will be racing to guess each person. The first one to guess who the singer is wins.

Best Impersonation

Each famous singer has their own mannerisms and distinguishable techniques. In this game, every participant will be competing against one another. The person who has the best impersonation of their singer of choice wins.

There are tons of things you can do to make your ordinary karaoke party more interesting. All you need is your friends, the best karaoke player in the Philippines, and your active participation.
