⚠️ Charades Rules

  • No Talking: You cannot speak or mouth words
  • No Props: Act using only your body
  • Time Limit: Use the timer to keep pace
  • Categories: Respect category hints when available
  • Gestures: Use standard signals (movie camera, open book, etc.)

How It Works

🎯

Syllable Strategy

Hold up fingers to show the number of syllables, then act each one separately.

📚

Category Signals

Use standard signals: open book (literature), crank camera (movie), microphone (song).

⏱️

Time Management

Start broad then get specific. Skip tough ones and come back later.

👥

Team Communication

Teammates should call out guesses continuously to spark connections.
