How to Play Charades
To get started with Halloween charades, all you need is a group of players, some Halloween-themed words or phrases, and a timer.
The game is typically played in teams of two or more, with one person acting out the word or phrase while the other players try to guess what it is.
Here’s a step-by-step guide for how to play:
- Divide the group into two or more teams.
- Choose a player from one team to go first. This player will choose a word or phrase and act it out without speaking.
- The other players on the team have to guess what the word or phrase is, and they only have a set amount of time to do so (usually one or two minutes).
- If the team successfully guesses the word or phrase before time runs out, they get a point. If they don’t guess it in time, the other team gets a chance to steal the point by correctly guessing the word or phrase.
- Play then moves to the next team, and the process repeats until all players have had a chance to act out a word or phrase.
- The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
