Occasions to Play

Tabletop Chorus is an easy, lighthearted original singing game of printable cards for adults. It works as a dinner party singing game and an icebreaker for adults: a group activity with no instruments and no singing experience needed, where the tunes are made up on the spot. Here are a few moments when it fits right in.

When to bring it out

Dinner parties

Bring the cards out between the main course and dessert, when conversation is relaxed and everyone is still at the table. Pass the deck around and let each guest draw one prompt.

Birthdays

Make a round part of the celebration. Let the birthday guest draw first, then pass the deck clockwise so everyone gets a turn to invent a tune.

Let the birthday guest draw first and choose who goes next.
Invite everyone to invent a short celebratory tune for the guest of honour.
Fit one short round between cake and conversation, with one card per guest.
Let anyone pass their card or join in on the group part instead of a solo.
Finish with a group chorus and a cheer for the birthday guest.

Casual gatherings

When a get-together needs a little spark, set the cards in the middle of the table. Anyone can pick one up and read it aloud whenever there is a lull.

Inviting guests in

Say up front that no instruments and no singing experience are needed. The tunes are made up on the spot.
Go first yourself and keep it silly. When the host is happy to be bad at it, everyone relaxes.
Let guests pass the card along or join in on the group part instead of taking a solo.
Cheer every attempt. Laughing and applauding is the whole point.
