How to Play Charades
You can use these traditional rules of the game. Feel free to change them up to your own style, player ages, etc.
- Separate the players into two teams. Rotate who will be the “mime” (or actor) of the team each round.
- One player (the mime) from team #1 takes a charades card. Give this player a few seconds to read the card and think about how to act it out.
- Start a timer, giving the player 60-90 seconds to act out the card and for their teammates to guess. Use a cell phone or sand timer to track the seconds.
- Award 1 point to the team if they guess the card correctly before time runs out.
- Play continues with the teams alternating with the cards until the cards run out or until one team reaches a pre-determined score.
