Charades
A classic big group game, easily suited for lots of different occasions and age levels. Players act out clues for their
teammates to guess.

What you need: Words to act out and two teams of students.

How to play: The object of the game is simple: players take turns acting out words, with no talking or sound effects.
Other players try to guess the word, and the team or player who guesses the most wins.

For example, if you’re playing with a big group of people, you could have two teams. Team 1 sends up their first
player, Tucker, to act out a word. Say Tucker draws a slip of paper with the word astronaut written on it.

Tucker would then have to act out the word as fast as possible in a way that his teammates could guess. He might
take slow, exaggerated steps, as if he were walking on the moon, then pretend to put up a flag and salute to it.
Anything to get his teammates to shout out the word astronaut. As Tucker is acting, his teammates start shouting
out guesses. Tucker can modify his actions based on the feedback of his team, but the one thing he can’t do is talk or
make any noise.

After Tucker finishes acting out his word, he sits down and a player from Team 2 gets a turn.

That’s how the game play works, but you can set up the actual game however you want. You could have two teams
or more, or no teams at all. You could keep score or just play for fun. You can have a timer and set a time limit on
each player’s turn; as many words as they can act out and get their team to guess, they get points for, but once the
timer runs out, their turn is over.

Rules for Pictionary

 Break into two teams.


 Each team forms a line.
 Teams flip for first turn.
 Student at the front of the line goes up to board and gets a word.
 Student may draw on the board or gesture or point ‐‐ but may not
talk!
 Student may not draw letters or numbers.
 Student’s own team tries to guess the word within twenty
seconds.
 If they cannot guess in twenty seconds, the other team gets to try.
