Quick Overview:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is an incredible game that Rhett & Link played on their show Good Mythical Morning<\/a>. You can take a look at the video above for an idea of how the game is played. Here are the basics. Each contestant will have to remake a Christmas Classic by singing it to a royalty free song. I have selected some genres to make it a little more simple for the contestants. We played this game at our staff lunch and it was incredible![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Supplies” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] <\/p>\n

Supplies You\u2019ll Need:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Two Christmas Hats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. List of Christmas Lyrics (Printed).<\/strong> You can find the file HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Christmas Songs & Genres (Printed & Cut-out) .<\/strong> You can find the file HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Royalty Free Music .<\/strong> You can find the some songs HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n

Prep:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Print out your lyrics. I printed two sets of each just in case people want to do a duet.<\/p>\n

Print out the song and genre cards. Cut and fold each card.<\/p>\n

Place only the Christmas classics in one hat and all the genre cards in another hat.<\/p>\n

Lay out the lyrics on the front of the stage or on a table.<\/p>\n

 [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Gameplay” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] <\/p>\n

Game Play:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The game is super simple. Bring up as many contestants as you want. We called 8 enthusiastic people up to the front before we explained the game. Just look for someone who isn’t afraid of making a fool of themselves.<\/p>\n

When you have each player up front explain the game.<\/p>\n

Each contest must recreate an old Christmas Classic and make it new and awesome using a certain genre of music.<\/p>\n

Contestants must select one Christmas Classic from Santa Hat #1 and then choose a Genre from Santa Hat #2.<\/p>\n

The DJ will cue up the track and the contestant will have about 60 seconds to sell to the crowd that they are the best person to re-invigorate an old Christmas Classic to a new and rocking song!<\/p>\n

Use crowd applause to crown the winner!<\/p>\n

Have fun this game is so much fun![\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Connect With Us” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
