This is pretty much a 'Name That Tune' Christmas special, but with some questions thrown in. The idea is to print off images (take screenshots) and ask members to guess at the song from the photos (many of which give clues).
There is a Spotify playlist below to help you out and you could also link to YouTube clips if members want to listen to complete songs.
Hope your group enjoys this one. Please wish members a very happy Christmas for me.
