Christmas Charades Set Up

 

Before the game print out the free clues below.

Cut them into individual clues and fold the paper so that the printed clues can not be seen as players are choosing them.

Place the folded clues in a Christmas themed container.

Players draw a clue from the container before their turn in the game. 

 

 

 

How to Play Christmas Charades

 

 One player acts out a word or phrase while the other players try and guess what they are acting out.

 

The object of the game is to have the acting players team guess what they are trying to act out using only gestures - no talking allowed.  This game is easy to play, requires a good imagination and keeps everyone laughing!

Charades can be played two different ways - in teams or as a large group.  

 

 

To play in Teams:
Divide the players into two teams.  Players should sit on the same side of the room as their team.  

Decide which team will go first.
The team going first will decide on a player to act the clue.

The first player chooses a clue from the clue container without looking.  The player has 5 minutes to look at the clue before the timer starts. 

 

Set a timer for 1 minute and the player will have that time  to act out their clue.  The player can not talk during their turn.

The other players on their team try to guess the word or phrase.  Their team can shout out answers until they (hopefully) guess the right answer. 

If the team guesses the clue within the time limit their team gets a point.  

If they have not gotten the right answer within the time limit the other team has one chance to answer.  If the opposing team guesses correctly they get a point. 

To play as a group:

Choose one player to start the game and they act out the clue for everyone.   The first person to guess the clue is the next player to act out a clue.

Common Charade clues used during the Christmas Charades game:
Number of words: hold up one finger per word then tap the finger of the word you will give a clue to solve.
Song:  pretend to sing.
Movie: crank an old fashioned movie camera.
Book:  open book with palms closed then open. 
Rhyming Word: tap on your ear for "sounds like".
