How to play Music Video Charades

Step 1

Play a short clean clip, then stop it before the title is revealed.

Step 2

One player silently acts the artist, title idea, or imagined music-video scene.

Step 3

Their team guesses; a correct title or artist scores 1.

Step 4

Rotate actors and use broad hints for players with lower music confidence.

Scoring

How the result works

Correct title or artist scores 1 point; award either answer for a lower-pressure round.

Example: A five-second instrumental clip plays, the actor mimes the video's main idea, and the team names the artist.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Using obscure clips that exclude half the group. Mix decades and allow title or artist.

Safety: Keep acting controlled, volume comfortable, and the floor clear.
