Winter Charades
I’ve made so many memories with my friends and family playing Charades over the years! I remember as a little kid getting so excited when it was my turn to act out the clue for my team to guess.
Charades is an easy game that helps get you out of your comfort zone and just lets you have fun with those you are playing with! Whether we are playing verb charades or winter charades, it is pretty much-guaranteed fun for everyone. It has helped me get to know my loved ones better. I love that through a fun game of charades you know who the silly ones are, the serious ones, and the competitive ones are. And let me tell you having one of each of these on your team is the best combination.
If you are playing this in the classroom you definitely want to pair it with verb charades for even more fun!

Supplies Needed to Play Winter Charades
The thing that is great about winter charades is that you don’t need much to play! This is a list of helpful things that might come in handy for winter charades.

- Timer, use an hourglass timer so everyone can see it.
- Dry erase board / marker to keep score.
How to Play Charades
- First, divide everyone into groups. You can play in groups or in one big group.
- Next, decide which team will go first and who will be the first actor.
- The first person will pick an idea from the Winter Charades card.
- This player will then act out the clue for their team. They will have 60 seconds (or another agreed upon time) to act out their winter charade idea. If their team guesses it within the 60 seconds their team earns a point! If they don’t the other team has one guess to try and steal the point.
- It is now the other team’s turn to go. Each team takes turns acting and guessing until all the clues are used up or until the team reaches a predetermined amount of points.
