“Play That Tune” is a simple yet powerful way for couples to connect through music. This activity sparks conversation, joy, and even a little dancing. Whether you're sharing songs that hold deep meaning or tunes that make you want to move, it’s all about creating memories and strengthening bonds—no screens required.

Why It Works:

“Play That Tune” encourages conversation, laughter, and deep connection through music. It brings out stories and memories that might not surface otherwise and celebrates the unique tastes and experiences of each participant. Dancing, laughing, and reminiscing make for joyful moments that strengthen relationships.

Set the Mood:

Gather in a comfortable space, with a speaker or stereo ready. Create a playlist or take turns choosing songs on the spot. Decide on a theme (optional).

The Rules: 

• Take turns playing songs for one another.
• After each song, the person who selected it shares why the song is meaningful, what memory it evokes, or why it resonates with them.

Example Themes:

Favorite Songs: Each of you shares one song you love and why it’s meaningful.

Memory Lane: Choose a song that reminds you of a shared moment or meaningful event.

Couple/Duo Challenge: Share a song that describes your relationship or reminds you of your partner.

Genre Exploration: Each of you picks a favorite song from a particular genre (rock, jazz, pop, country, etc.).

Bonus: If you're a dancing couple, this is a great opportunity to dance with your partner and deepen the connection.

Wrap-Up:

At the end, compile all song choices into a shared playlist that can serve as a lasting memory of the time together. If you enjoy the activity, turn it into a regular tradition—imagine a new theme or music challenge for every holiday gathering!
