A simple way to turn screen time into an interactive experience - karaoke is a fun way to build confidence, practice reading, and enjoy music together. Not to mention, it's a perfect reunion for you and your inner child!
Whether you all love singing along to your favourite songs, putting on a performance, or just giggling through silly lyrics, karaoke makes screen time more active and engaging.
Bonus: It’s a great way to sneak in some movement and social fun, whether as a family or with friends on a video call!
Set up your device and gather any of the above optional props you might want to add in.
Search for some relevant songs together on your app of choice. Hint: YouTube have a lot of free options - just search "karaoke song name" or "singalong"
Start the music and sing along, following the lyrics on the screen.
Encourage expressive movements - dancing, clapping, or using hand gestures.
Take turns being the "audience" or "performer" if playing with others.
Celebrate your performance with cheers, high-fives, or even pretend ‘judges’ giving fun feedback.
Karaoke Battle: Take turns singing and let a “judge” (you, a sibling, or a stuffed toy) pick fun categories like "most dramatic performance" or "best dance moves."
Character Impressions: Sing songs while pretending to be different characters, like animals, superheroes, or even family members - mix up the fun!
Virtual Karaoke Party: Call a friend or relative and have a mini karaoke session together over FaceTime or Zoom.
