#4. Antakshari

The good old antakshari can never go out of fashion! However, do not make this an impromptu affair because there will be already so much to do that night. A couple of days ahead of the sangeet ceremony, ask family members to nominate people to form teams. And, like every other game being played, get the gifts ready for these talented singers and performers, so that they remember the evening for years to come!

#5. Paper dance

As a warm-up round, get every family member to Shake it like Shammi and get ready for the real deal i.e. Paper Dance! Pair them up with their real life partners or let them choose on their own, especially the young ones. Play some groovy music in the beginning, so that everyone warms up to the idea, especially the elders of the family! Once it starts getting hot in there, you can start playing softer numbers or evergreen classics if the elders are still in the race! Believe us when we say this- everyone is going to have a gala time.

#6. Tambola

Admit it, we all have at some point loved to gamble our money on the Tambola tickets. You can have an extremely creative person taking the center-stage to emcee the event in the most hatke style. And, if you are thinking about what to do with those who are defaulters; we would say you penalise them and ask them to showcase their talent, whether it is dance, naach gaana or mimicry!

#7. Musical chair

Like antakshari, musical chair too will be a hit among every family member. To add an element of twist, give Bollywood numbers a miss. Instead, get a few elderly members of the family to sing some folk songs to add to the uniqueness of the night. For this you will have to arrange dholak, and other musical instruments to get the authentic flavour of your culture!
