How to Play Family Charades

Nothing to print and nothing to prepare. Press play and the words come to you.
  1. 1

    Set the round length

    Sixty seconds is the classic turn. Shorten it if family comes easily to your group, stretch it if it doesn't.

  2. 2

    Keep it simple

    With family, sound effects often help little kids get going. Agree whether noises are OK before you start, and never say the word itself.

  3. 3

    Score a point per guess

    Tap Correct when they land it, or Pass to move on. The round summary tallies everything for you.
