Tips for printing out the file
Here are some handy tips to make sure your charades cards look their best when printed:
- Paper Size: These charades cards are sized to fit best on standard letter-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″).
- Paper Type: Opt for cardstock or thick paper to ensure your cards are sturdy and durable. This makes them easier to handle and less prone to bleed through if you use pens.

How to Play Charades
Playing charades is easy and requires no special equipment, making it the perfect, budget friendly party game for any occasion. Once you’ve downloaded, printed, and cut out the cards, you just need to figure out how you’re going to play the game:
Option 1: Divide into teams
- Divide players into two or more teams with the same number of players.
- One player from a team acts out the word while their team members try and guess the answer within a time limit.
- Set a timer for each round, typically 1-2 minutes, to keep the game moving and add an element of excitement.
- If the team guesses correctly within the time limit, they get a point. If not, it’s the other team’s turn to act out a different word.
- Play continues with each team taking turns until all words have been acted out or until a predetermined score is reached.
Option 2 : Play as a Individuals
If you have a small get-together, it’s usually easier to play as one group:
- One player at a time selects a slip of paper from the bowl and acts out the word without speaking while all the other players try to guess within a time limit.
- If a player guesses correctly within the time limit, they get to keep the slip of paper as a point.
- The next player then picks a new slip of paper and continues until everyone has had a turn or until a predetermined score is reached.
