Reverse Charades
When my family gets to the end of a busy day, we are all ready to relax and have some fun together, and we love to play charades.
We love to get out our charades cards, pop some popcorn, and get right to playing and laughing together! Lately, our favorite charades games are Verb Charades, Dinosaur Charades, Winter Charades, Mother’s Day Charades, Bible Charades, Princess Charades, Birthday Charades, Dinosaur Charades, and of course, Reverse Charades!
Reverse Charades is a fun and silly twist on regular charades!
Instead of one person acting out the card and the rest of the team guessing, you flip it around and have one person guess while the rest of the team acts out the card.
It’s always so funny to see all the different ways people act out the same card!
You’ll want to have these Reverse Charades printable cards for your next party or game night!
Why I Love Charades
Charades is such an easy game to play!
There’s almost no setup needed; all you need to do is print out these cards, grab your family or friends, and start playing!
Charades is a great game for any age. The rules are easy to understand and the game is simple and fun. Kids, teens, and adults can all play together and have a great time!
How to Play Reverse Charades
Playing Reverse Charades is a lot like playing regular charades, but the actors and guessers are flipped! The actor becomes the guesser, and the guessers become the actors!
First, divide into groups of at least three people. This way you can have one guesser and multiple actors on each team.
Next, each team will decide who will be their first guesser. You can do this any way you like! You can go from youngest to oldest, tallest to shortest, longest hair to shortest hair, or whatever creative way you come up with.
During each team’s turn, the team selects a card and acts out together what is on that card. You may not use words, sounds, or move your mouth! The guesser has one minute to guess correctly. If they do, they get a point! If they don’t, the other team gets one chance to make the right guess.
When you’ve run out of cards, or when one team has earned a predetermined amount of points, the game is over. Whichever team has the most points wins!
Tips and Tricks for Playing Reverse Charades
- Using a timer can help you keep track of each turn.
- Print your cards on cardstock and laminate them so you can use them again and again!
- It can really help for the actors to use their hands to indicate how many words the guesser should guess.
- You can reverse any charades game! Add our Verb Charades cards to the deck for more fun!
