These games are possibly more entertaining than the actual X-Factor.
AUDITION: They prepare a special song for you (1D, Twinkle Twinkle, Pharrell Williams – whatever they like). They need to practice it a lot (ie, for at least 5 minutes, in another room). Then you give them a standing ovation.
BAND NAME: You loved their performance; they really made it their own, but you think they need a new name. Can they make one up for themselves? Try funny combinations, like an animal name and an action. Or something from space and a colour.
DO THE X FACTOR SURVEY: While you watch, keep a tally of the things they can spot (to help, we drew up the list below). How many of each can they see?
A hat
Someone funny!
Someone crying…
A white shirt
Something blue
A guitar
A really good singer!
An ‘X’
