How to play Halloween “Charades”

The rules of Halloween “Charades” are simple and easy. All you need is a group of friends or family, some creativity, and a little bit of acting skills (or lack thereof). Here’s how to play:

Prepare a list of words and phrases and write them down on pieces of paper. Decide if you want to stick to certain themes or topics, like Halloween, or if you’re fine with mixing different topics.

Then, divide your group into two teams and decide the order of teams. In each team, assign an “actor” for each round. The actor will act out the chosen word or phrase without speaking while their team tries to guess it within a time limit.

The actor can use gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to convey the word or phrase. If their team guesses correctly, they get a point. If not, it’s the turn of the other team.

Keep playing until all words or phrases are used up, and the team with the most points wins!
