Antakshari:
Contestant Selection: We can ask everyone to write their names on a piece of a paper when they enter the hall. Later we can randomly select names from that list and have random teams.
We can have 4 teams with 3 contestants in each team.
Rounds: We can 3 rounds and select the winner. Later we can repeat the process and finally have final between winners of two such competitions.
1st: Normal antakshari. I was thinking we should stick to Marathi songs only. We can start with random letter and then let contestants continue the antakshari for may be 3 4 rounds. Mostly everyone will get all the points in this round.
2nd: Songs from words: We’ll give 3 words to contestants and they have to sing a song which has all the 3 words in it. Or we can have combination of an actor/singer/director/musician etc and contestants should sing a song accordingly. (We can work out point’s policy once we finalize the rounds.)
3rd: We can have dumb sheraz (Charades). We’ll give song/movie names to the contestants. One of the contestants from each group has to enact that song/movie name and his team members should guess it correctly.
Thats all I have come up with as of now. Please review it and pass on the suggestions.
P.S. Our count is now 80 adults and 16 children. :)
Thanks and regards,
