Ukulele Games

There are numerous games and activities you could consider that are ukulele-themed or could incorporate ukuleles. Here are a few ideas:

  1. Ukulele Karaoke: This is a fun group activity. Have a selection of easy-to-play songs and let players take turns performing. You could even have non-players judge performances and turn it into a light-hearted competition.
  2. Ukulele Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of music-themed items for players to find, such as a specific ukulele chord, a type of ukulele, a song that includes a ukulele, etc. You could also create riddles related to the ukulele or music that players have to solve to find the items.
  3. Ukulele Guess the Song: One player strums the tune of a well-known song on their ukulele while the other players try to guess what song it is. This could be played individually or in teams.
  4. Chord Challenge: This game is great for helping players practice and learn new chords. You call out a chord, and the players have to play it. You can start with simple chords and gradually increase the difficulty. The last player remaining who can successfully play all the chords called out is the winner.
  5. Ukulele Pictionary: Just like traditional Pictionary but with a musical twist. All words or phrases drawn have to be music or ukulele related. This could include song titles, music terms, parts of the ukulele, etc.
  6. Create a Song: This activity is particularly fun in a group. Give the group a silly topic and have them collaborate to write and perform a short song about it. This can lead to lots of laughter and creativity.

These games and activities should provide a great start for incorporating the ukulele into play in a variety of ways. Remember, the main point is to have fun and enjoy the music!
