Things to do - Get Tuned In

What do you need? A radio Timer or stopwatch Paper and pens How to play; Each player takes turns to tune the radio to a random channel and leaves it there for 10 seconds. The player with the highest score wins. Dead simple! Here's some ideas for point scoring. MUSIC=1 point (bonus extra 3 points if you can name the song) NEWS=2 points FOREIGN LANGUAGE= 3 points (bonus extra 3 points if you can name the language) ADVERT= 3 points ( bonus extra 5 points if you've ever bought the product) WEATHER=5 points SPORT= 5 points PHONE IN= 5 points TRAFFIC REPORT= 4 points If there is an overlap of subjects during the ten seconds, it is the first subject that counts. There are variations, such as Radio Bingo. Each player has a list of categories to cross off, winner is the first to cross them all off, and shout "I'm tuned in!" I played this in a tent, in the rain, with half a dozen twelve year olds, and it kept them, and me, entertained for nearly an hour! Then, about twenty more kids joined us and we sang along, very badly, to songs on the radio for the rest of the evening. It became the most memorable and fun night of the trip for most of those kids.
