How to Play Dinosaur Charades
First, gather your group and divide into at least two teams. If you have a large group, dividing into more teams can make the game go smoother.
Next, choose which team will go first. You can decide this however you want! I like to roll a die, flip a coin, or play paper-rock-scissors.
Each team will take a turn having one person act out a card while the rest of the team guesses. The actor chooses a card and, without using their mouth at all, acts out what is on the card. If they guess the right answer in 1 minute or less, they get a point! If they don’t, the other team gets one chance to guess.
The game is over when each person has had a turn to act, when the cards are gone, or when a team has reached a predetermined amount of points.
Tips and Tricks for Playing Dinosaur Charades
- Use a timer to help keep track of each team’s turn.
- Make your cards more durable by printing them on cardstock and laminating them.
- Each actor can help their team by using hand gestures to tell their team how many words are on the card.
- Have your own fun ideas for Dinosaur Charades? We’ve included blank cards for you to use!
- Dinosaur charades can get a little challenging, especially when it is hard to act out different types of dinosaurs, so if it becomes challenging you can always have a word bank for little kids so they can still have fun while playing!
