Game: Charades

Basically, Charades is pantomime: acting out a word or phrase without speaking.

Charades can be played with any type of word or phrase.

When pantomiming:

1. indicate how many words are in your phrase or title by holding up that many of fingers.
2. Then, hold up the finger of the word you are going to act out - for example, hold up two fingers for the second word.
3. You can then divide a word into syllables by tapping your fingers on your forearm... for example, if you have a two syllable word you would tap two fingers onto your arm.
4. The person acting the phrase can not talk - if someone guesses the correct word, you point at the person who got it right and nod "yes".
5. You can cup your hand to your ear to indicate "sounds like"
6. Bring your thumb and index finger close together to indicate a little word (such as on, in, the, and..)
7. Have fun being silly!
