Curriculum Materials Library Game Collection: Charades for Kids

Charades for Kids
Find it in the CML Games Section. Click to see availability (Board Game). Click to see availability (Card Game).

A player draws a card with a list of charades, then rolls a die to see which one to act out. There is also a deck of picture cards for players too young to read. The active player acts out the charade for the player on the left. This player gets only one chance to guess. If incorrect, the next player gets one chance, and so on. The first player to guess correctly moves two spaces along the game board. The player doing the charade moves ahead one space. If no one guess correctly, then no one moves for that turn. There are also "All Play" spaces where everyone guesses simultaneously. The first player to reach the finish space wins.
