Charades Ideas For Kids

Charades is an inclusive, fun game that is suitable for all ages, including children!

The rules are simple: one person will act something out, and the others must guess what they are trying to act out. It could be a book, movie, song, celebrity, fictional character, tv show, object or whatever else takes your fancy! For a more detailed look at the rules, head to this article.

One of the challenges of playing charades is thinking of topics. Topics have to be possible to act out, and they also can't be too obscure, or nobody will know the answer.

Below is a list of some suggestions of topics for playing charades, specially thought up for kids. Have fun, and remember: no talking!

There are diferent variations of charades, so before you start, make sure everybody is thinking of the same set of rules. Before you start, you should determine:

-Can the actors make noises? (eg theme songs, animal noises, car noises)

-Can the actor use props?
