Have you ever watched this game on tv? Ask your parents and grandparents if they have!

This was one of the very fun television game shows that everyone could play along with.

It's fun to play as a family on car trips or even around the house!

If younger kids are playing, make sure the songs are songs they know, like nursery rhyme songs.

Preschool and kindergarten teachers can use this in the classroom. It's good for memory, too.

Teenagers can pick a singer or group and play that way. Parents can pick their favorite era and hum songs from that time. You can also pick a class of music - rock, easy listening, 70's, 80's and 90's or country.

One player is the singer. She begins by humming or whistling one note. The players then try to guess the song.

If they can't, she adds one more note and hums or whistles 2 notes. The players try to guess the song title again.

If noone guesses it this time the singer hums 3 notes. Play continues with the singer adding a note onto the previous notes until the song is guessed.

The player who guessed the song is the new singer.
