Why I Love Charades
My family really has fallen in love with charade games. It started with the classic family charades we’d play during family night. It quickly grew into a family favorite. No matter what the occasion, there is a charade game to match! We love playing Camping Charades on a camping trip when outdoors with nature.
Charade games bring my family together in such a special way. We love being able to let go and have a good time together! No matter the age, everyone can participate and have fun playing together. There aren’t many games that can bring a whole family together like that.
How to Play 4th of July Charades
If you’ve never played charades before, don’t worry. It’s very simple and easy to learn.
This game can be played as one big group, or you can add some competition by dividing into teams and keeping points. However you choose to play, the rest of the rules are the same.
One person will be the actor first. I love doing fun things to pick the actor. For example, the person who can make the best Uncle Sam impression or the person with the most patriotic outfit goes first. The actor will change at the start of each new round.
The first actor will draw the top card. They will then have 60 seconds to act it out without using any words or sounds! They are trying to get their team to guess it. If their team does this within 60 seconds, they will get the point. If they don’t, the other team gets one guess to steal. Be careful because the first thing shouted out is that team’s guess.
You can decide when the game ends. You can either go through all the cards, play until everyone has had a turn, or play until a certain amount of points.
REMEMBER: The actor cannot say or mouth any words. They can only use actions and gestures to get their team to guess the word on their card.
