Playing Charades is very easy, and it has a simple goal. The whole point of the game is to get the people on your team to say a word that is on a card, without saying the word or showing them the word. Sounds easy does it not? Well what if I told you that you could not use any sounds. Does it sound so easy now? In most games of Charades you are not aloud to make any sounds at all (this includes talking, clapping, whistling, or anything else like that). Another rule is that you are not allow to move your lips as if trying to say the word. In other words you can not try and let your team mates read your lips. When you play Charades they only weapon you got is how well you can act out a word. Another very common rules is that you are not allow to point at objects in the room as well. This is because it would make the game really easy. Let's say you got the word book, all you would have to do is point to a book. That is why pointing at objects is not allowed. When you go to the story to buy your copy of Charades, keep in mind that there are a lot of different versions out their for you to choose from. One of these versions is called Celebrity Charades. Which is also a TV show, in which famous celebrities play Charades. I know it does not sound as fun to watch someone else play, but watching some funny actors makes it worth watching. People do some pretty crazy stuff.
So when you are thinking of what you would like to do at your next big blow out, think Charades. I know that it sounds like something that they only do on the movies, but it really is a fun game. Once you give it a chance and actually play it, you will never want to stop. Half the fun of playing this game is watching the other people act our funny words. Say your best friends got the word monkey, you cannot tell me that it would not be funny to watch him hop around your living room trying to act our the word. See it can be fun for everyone. In fact, lots of people at the party may choose just to watch everyone act everything out and not actually play the game. This is a great game and is something that everyone can play. I highly recommend it.
