How to play Charades? 🤓

To play Charades you need at least two players, but there is no upper limit.

Write some words and/or phrases on slips of paper. Then fold them so nobody can read the word.

Then one after another draws a paper slip and tries to act out the word to the other players. You should set a time limit in advance. Usually, everyone has one minute to act out the word. There are various versions of how to play Charades. You can play in teams or just play for fun.

You can find all rules for Charades here: Charades Word Game.

The most important thing to play Charade is a great list of words. You can make this list by yourself or use our great list with the best charades ideas for kids.
