  • Duet Dare: Spin for a genre, then spin a names wheel to pick your duet partner.

Songbook freeze, solved

When the songbook lands in your hands, it is hard to choose. The wheel gives you a genre to start from, such as 80s rock anthems, 90s pop, 2000s R&B or Broadway showtunes. A smaller choice is much easier.

Spin, then pick a song in that genre. Duets work well with pop and showtunes. A fun house rule is that you must sing whatever genre comes up.

Getting everyone involved

Shy singers prefer group numbers, so have a few that everyone knows. Edit the genres to match your crowd, adding country, K-pop or children’s songs. Use Remove winner after each spin so every genre appears once.
