Equipment:
Laminated Reverse Charades cards (You can also just write them on a whiteboard and think of words as you go, or print out cards below)
Music ready to play (See our Magic Games Playlist)
Objective:
To be in the team with the most points at the end of the game.
How to Play:
Split kids into teams of three or more. Decide on a number of rounds or a point target to win.
Each team selects a guesser (everyone gets a turn) and the guesser comes up the front.
The rest of the team members are all shown the same word that they will act out and try to have their gusser get.
First team to have their guesser say the correct word wins.
Shhh! Not a sound among the team members acting. You lose a point if you speak or “mouth” any words to each other or the guesser. The use of objects (or even people) in the room is definitely permitted.
Variations:
You could also play by doing the guessing one team at a time. Each team has one minute to guess as many words as possible. Then move onto the next team and do the same. 1 word guessed correctly = 1 point.
