    How do you play this family charades game? 

    Playing this game of Family Charades isn't hard at all. Since we've included the printable word list that gives you the charades that you need to do, all that's left is that all the players to take turns acting out whatever is on the printable. It's just that simple.

    Every family tends to have their own party game rules when it comes to charades like a time limit or using the number of fingers to represent how many words, but there is one rule that stands firm - There's no talking at all in charades, And this is what makes the game so fun! 

    The basic rules of charades is to print out the charade game cards at the bottom of the post. Divide your group into teams. Place the charade cards in a bowl or hat, and then the first person of the first team grabs a card and acts out the word. The rest of the group guesses and once the correct answer has been blurted out, it's time to switch charades. The team that answers the most at the end of the game wins!

    Spending your time trying to act out what is on the clue is certain to draw in some laughs and have some great fun.

    Can Anyone of Any Age Play Charades?

    Totally! But if you have a younger child who can't read quite yet, you'll just need to pair up so that you can help them. We play charades with partners all the time and it's really quite fun. 

    You and your team member can split up the cues and take turns acting out the charade. And who knows, you might find that playing charades as a team is a way more fun game than playing alone.

    Charade Questions

    Now that you are ready to play family charades, here are a few questions you might have.

    What must you not do when playing charades?

    There is no pointing. No talking, words, or sounds. No lip movement at all. They are only acting out the charade card.

    Why do you touch your nose in charades?

    When you touch your nose in charades that typically means that you are guessing correct or close. Whether it's the category or guess for the charade.

    Is sign language allowed in charades?

    If you know sign language, then that is technically talking with your hands, so NO.
