usually none; some benefit from a music player or radio

Name That Tune

One player hums or sings the first few notes of a song; others race to name the title (and/or artist). Whoever guesses correctly picks the next tune. Harder variants allow only 3 notes.

Build a playlist in advance. Play songs through the speaker and sing along as a carful. Pass the "mic" (imaginary) to different singers for solo verses. A James Corden-style road-trip centerpiece, not really a competitive game but a beloved activity.
