Humdinger
We play a family game that is like an aspect of the Cranium board game called "A Humdinger." In the board game, a player hums the tune of a given song to his or her teammates and the teammates advance around the board if they correctly guess the name of the song.
We started playing our own version of Humdinger where one person hums a tune and the other family members guess the name of the song. Popular choices here at home include "Grand Ol' Flag," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "You Can Fly," and "Hakuna Matata."
The other morning, on the way to school, Adelaide, Henry, and I were playing and I hummed the first three notes of "You Are My Sunshine," and Henry shouted, "Only Sun! Only Sun!" The lyrics of "You Are My Sunshine" begin "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine ...," so naturally, Henry won that round. I was impressed that he was able to identify the song after just three notes.

Just like Name That Tune we use to play as a kid (just aged myself a great deal) it was on tv and we tried to do it before the tv people could and we won the "fabulous prizes". I didnt win much I sucked at that game but oh well it was a fun challenge! Henry looks so big in that orange vest!
