For example, if the charade is "hitting a grand slam homerun" and the guesser only says "hitting a grand slam", the charade has not been guessed correctly. The card is now placed at the bottom of the pile, and play moves clockwise around the room to Team TWO. Once all teams have completed 12 rounds, total up the scores. The team with the most points wins the game!
Place both hands out, palms facing the audience and touching at the thumbs, and draw them apart like a theater curtain. Hold one hand out, palm down, horizontal to the ground, as if holding a computer mouse. Make a sweeping motion side to side, then stop and tap index finger as if "clicking". Move your hand in a chopping motion toward your arm near the top of your forearm if the letter is near the beginning of the alphabet, and near the bottom of your arm if the letter is near the end of the alphabet.
Point to your tongue, then point to an object of the color you're trying to convey. If no objects are available, then pantomime an object that typically possesses the color in question. Frantically wave your hands about to keep the guesses coming, or pretend to fan yourself, as if to say "getting hotter".
Hold both arms out in front of you, palms of your hands waving, facing your teammates, while simultaneously shaking your head, eyes closed. Picture Charades are designed for children who are still too young to read.
It is all about being imaginative and having fun. The team with the smallest score wins the game. To act out a phrase, one usually starts by indicating what category the phrase is in, and how many words are in the phrase. From then on, the usual procedure is to act out the words one at a time although not necessarily in the order that they appear in the phrase. In some cases, however, it may make more sense to try to act out the "entire concept" of the phrase at once.

Each round usually has a set amount of time, but you can adjust this depending on the age group and skill level of players. Two minutes might be a good starting time limit. In this situation, teams would try to guess until they gave up. At this point, you might want to agree upon a penalty for anyone who speaks when they should only be gesturing.
For example, you might deduct a half point or forfeit the round. Method 2. Have the starting player draw a slip. The team that won the coin toss starts things off.
They should choose a single player to act out a slip first. All players on a team must act out a slip at least once before anyone can go for a second turn. If you have difficulty deciding who goes first, have the winner of a quick rock, paper, scissors tournament select a strip and get the game started.
Convey general info to help your team narrow down their guesses. Things like the category and the number of words in the phrase will give your teammates a better idea of where to focus their guesses. You can come up with gestures all your own, but usually: Holding up a number of fingers at the start of a turn indicates the total number of words. Laying a number of fingers on your arm indicates the number of syllables for the word.
Act things out until your team gets it right or you run out of time. Some gestures you think will work out great turn out to be a dud. When your team guesses the answer, the round ends and your team gets a point. Then the other team repeats this process. Play until you run out of slips or there is a clear winner.
Split up and write up some new slips. In some cases, there might be a few really good players on one team, making things imbalanced. Reshuffle teams to make things more fair.
Method 3. Discuss common gestures with all players. Common gestures allow you to bypass concepts you'll have to express each turn, like categories, so you can get to the good stuff. But it would be unfair if a few players didn't know these, so run through common gestures with all players before starting.
Express categories with standard gestures. Because every word or phrase will fall into a category, it helps to have standard gestures for these. Indicate book titles by unfolding your hands, as though opening a book. Gesture as though you are cranking old fashioned camera for movies. Draw a square or rectangle in front of you to signify TV shows.
Pretend to sing without actually singing for song titles. Pull on a rope to raise a theatre curtain to indicate plays. Make air quotes with your fingers when your slip has a quote or phrase.
Encourage guesses on the right track. When a teammate is close, allow excitement to show on your face. Use the distance between your fingers or hands to indicate closeness. Guide teammates to the right tense or form of words. In some situations, your teammates might have the right word, but it might not be in the right tense, or it may need to be plural when they've said it in the singular. When a teammate is close, point to them and then: Link your little fingers together to indicate a word is plural.
Do the opposite of this for future tense. Use similar sounding words to your advantage. Improve your game with practice and speed. The faster you clearly gesture, the more quickly your team will be able to guess your phrase.
Practice by playing Charades often so gestures come to you naturally, without wasting time thinking. If you have difficulty clearly expressing yourself through gestures and you really want to get good, take an improv class or a mime class. You may select the time, but mostly people do it for a minute. Not Helpful 5 Helpful To signal the letters in Charades, hold the appropriate amount of fingers to your forehead; hold them to your arm for syllables; and in the air for the amount of words.
