How to Play Olympic Charades
- First, download your Olympic Charades printable cards, cut them out, and put them in a bowl or hat.
- Grab your friends or family and divide them into at least two teams. Multiple teams are a good idea if you have a very large group.
- Decide who will go first. You can do this any fun way you like? Sometimes we flip a coin, play paper-rock-scissors, or have a staring contest.
- The first actor selects a card and acts out that card for their team. Remember, the actor must not use their mouth to speak, make sounds, or mouth the words! Their team has one minute to guess the correct answer and win a point.
- If they don’t guess correctly within a minute, the other team gets one chance to guess the right answer and steal that point. Don’t forget, only one guess is allowed, so make sure everyone agrees on a good one!
- The game is over when everyone’s had a turn, when you’ve run out of cards, or when a team has reached a certain amount of points. The team with the most points wins!
Tips for Playing Olympic Charades
- Be sure to review the rules of the game beforehand to make sure everyone understands them. This can help avoid confusion during the game.
- Don’t forget that actors may gesture with their hands to let their team know how many words they should guess.
- It’s a good idea to laminate your charades cards to make them last! You’re definitely going to want to play this game again and again!
- Prizes can make things exciting and more competitive! I like to give out some favorite treats or small toys.
- Lastly, don’t be afraid to be a little silly when it’s your turn to act! This is what makes it extra fun for everyone!
Helpful Tools We Love When Downloading Printables
- Printer– I love my HP+ printer that uses Instant Ink. I love it because we can use as much color ink as you want for one low cost starting at $.99/ month for ink. Try it out for free here!
- Cardstock- I always recommend printing on cardstock. This makes it way more durable so you don’t have to worry about printing it time and time again.
- Laminator / Laminating Sheets- Again, for added durability, grab a laminator and laminating sheets so that you can use this again and again!
- Scissors (I seriously love these ones)
- Dry Erase Pens- Use dry erase pens so that you can wipe your laminated printable clean over and over again for endless use!
