Ever since the U.S. Government issued a shelter-in-place order due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve been finding ways to keep ourselves busy during quarantine.
With learning TikTok dances and tie-dying clothes to binging our favorite Disney classics on DisneyPlus and mixing our own cocktails and mocktails topping our “to-do” list, a weekend activity that we started taking up is a blast from our past. Since having more time on our hands, we’ve found ourselves playing iconic board games with our quarantine crew, including favorites like Monopoly, Operation, Candy Land, Twister and Connect 4!
To keep the mood upbeat during a time filled with unforeseen circumstances, streaming service Pandora, along with Hasbro, teamed up to create Bring Home the Fun with Sound On, curating the ultimate listening experiences to play with your favorite games like Battleship, Clue, The Game of Life, Jenga and more. Each Pandora playlist features a thematic list of songs for each of the 12 games, so you can perfectly soundtrack your next game night with music from artists like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, AC/DC, Justin Bieber and even Prince!
Grab your crew, game of choice and your bluetooth speaker and keep scrolling to see which playlist best suits your game night needs. Don’t forget to tag us on Twitter and Instagram so we can see how much fun you’re having!
