Why I Love Birthday Charades

Charades is a game that has been past down for generations of bringing our family together through laughter. I remember playing as a child with my parents and we have carried this same tradition to our own family. 

It holds a special place in my heart as I have seen it create lifelong memories that we have gotten to share with our kids. 

It is an excellent game to have on hands so you can play it at a moments notice because it requires no set-up time!  

If your family loves teamwork and a little friendly competition, you will see how quickly this becomes one of your favorite go-to games!

Charades is the perfect game to bring people together.

How To Play Birthday Charades

Playing birthday charades is easy!

  • Gather everyone together and then make two teams. This can be done by picking a team caption and have someone call names or the good ol count off of group 1 and 2. You can then flip a coin or play paper rock scissors to see who goes first. 
  • Next, choose your first actor on that team. They will pick the top card off the stack and look at the word. Once they have a chance to look, the timer will then start. 
  • They will have one minute to try and get their team to guess the clue. Be sure you don’t move your lips, make sounds, or say any words. Only actions.
  • If your team gets it right within the time, they will get a point. If you don’t get it right, then the other team gets one guess to see if they can get it right. If they do, they get the point. If no one answers it correctly, no points are awarded.
  • The game ends when a team reaches a predetermined amount of points or you use up all the cards.

Tips And Tricks For Play Charades

  • Be sure that you divide the teams fairly. Pair younger kids with older kids to ensure everyone has fun playing. 
  • Don’t be afraid to be silly, this allows you to really have fun and create memories with one another. 
  • For younger kids, you may want to add about 10-15 seconds to their acting time. 
  • For non-readers have someone read the clue to them so they can act it out.
