How To Play Picture Charades
Picture charades is really easy to play. Prior to playing you will want to divide up into at least two teams. Once the teams have been chosen, you will choose which team will go first. They then pick an actor to go first.
The actor will go and select the top card off the deck and they have a predetermined amount of time to act it out. If their team guesses it within that time, the team gets a point. It is now the other team’s turn.
Remember you can not move your lips or make any noise as you are acting it out.
The one thing you can do is tell everyone how many words the phrase is by holding up that many fingers.
