How to play charades with a large group
Playing with a large group, such as a class of school students or a large youth group, can be different to playing together on family game night.
If you are playing charades with a large group, start by dividing players into teams. Use a timer and set a time limit of 3 minutes for each team to complete their phrase.
If Team A is going first, they nominate one of their players to stand in front of the group, read the charades game card and perform signals and actions for their team to try to guess the title or phrase being performed.
If Team A does not guess the acted phrase correctly within the 3 minute time limit, Team B can try to guess the phrase to steal a point.
Then Team B takes a turn. Play continues with each team taking turns until time is called and the team with the most points wins the game.
