How to Play Charades
- Teams take turns: one player acts a word or phrase without speaking while teammates guess before time runs out — enable the optional scorecard timer if you want the same countdown for every team.
- The acting team earns points for each correct guess — record the total for that round the way your house rules define it.
- Each team takes a turn acting in rotation. Set the round count at the start, and optionally turn on a shared countdown timer for each acting turn.
- The team with the highest total score after all rounds wins.
Tips & Strategy for playing Charades
- Use clear, exaggerated gestures for syllables, rhymes, or categories so teammates catch the clue fast.
- Agree before play which standard signals you allow (e.g. “sounds like”, number of words) so scoring stays fair.
- Enable the optional scorecard timer so everyone sees the same acting window, or use another visible timer — just keep turns fair and consistent.
