How to play Charades

Charades is a simple game that just about anyone can play! All you need are a group of friends, a few ideas for words and phrases, and some creativity! Here’s how to play:

1. Prepare a list of words

Before you start playing, gather a list of words or phrases that will be acted out during the game. You can either come up with your own list or use our Charades word generator for a quick and easy solution.

2. Divide into teams

Divide into two or more teams - this will add an element of competition and make the game more engaging.

3. Set a timer

Each round should have a time limit of about 1 minute. If you’re playing with our app, the timer will automatically start when you hit “ready!”. You can choose to adjust the time based on difficulty level or group preference.

4. The acting begins!

The first team sends one player to act out words or phrases in silence while their team members try to guess them within the time limit.

As soon as one word has been guessed, the actor draws a new word and continues acting until the timer runs out. After the first team has finished their turn, it’s the next team’s turn to act.

5. Counting points

Each team receives a point for every word or phrase correctly guessed within the time limit. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

The most convenient way to keep track of points is by using our Charades app, which automatically tallies the score for each team.

Charades game rules

To keep the game fun and fair, it’s important to establish a few ground rules. Here are some basic rules to follow:

1. No verbal clues or sounds: Only non-verbal actions are allowed in Charades; no speaking or making sounds to hint at the word.

2. No using props: Actors must only use their body movements and gestures to convey the word or phrase, no props or pointing to objects in the room allowed.

3. Be respectful: Charades is all about having fun, so it’s important to be respectful and encouraging towards all players.

4 Choose age-appropriate words: Make sure the chosen words or phrases are suitable for everyone in the group. If playing with children, keep the words simple and easy to act out.
