How Do You Play Charades?
Setup
Prepare clues by writing funny situations or famous things on small slips of paper. These will be acted out by players. Split players into two teams.
Playing Charades
To play, have each team elect a representative to act. If you wish to make this a simultaneously competitive game, have both actors go at the same time. Show these players their clues. Set a one-minute timer. Say “GO!”
The actors must use non-verbal (no talking) motions to try to get their team to successfully guess the clue. If they can do it within a minute, they receive a point.
