_3 to 60 players._

_House party; schoolroom; playground._

Each player is given a slip of paper and pencil. Some one who has a
good repertoire of popular airs sits at the pian
or lacking a piano,
may sing without word
and goes briefly through snatches of one air
after another, each of the players writing on his slip of paper the
name of the air, or leaving a blank if he be unable to name it. The
one wins who names the largest number of airs correctly.

This is an admirable game to use for old ballads, such as "Annie
Laurie," "Suwanee River," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Blue Bells of
Scotland," etc., or for national airs, or for both together. In a
company that is well up on current music, airs from current songs and
popular operas may be used successfully.
