What is Charades?
Charades is a game where one person acts out words or phrases to get their team members to guess what it is. Since the acting skills required are very minimal, playing charades can be enjoyed by people of all skill levels and abilities. There's no time limit so you have as long as you need to act something out which gives everyone playing a fair chance.
Since charades are more about acting than it is about playing according to rules, you can easily turn this game into an activity that helps you learn languages too! Many people struggle with learning new words and don't know where to start so playing games like these are extremely helpful for them. There's no reason why playing games can't be fun and educational at the same time.
How to play:
You can play this game using no equipment, play in groups, or just for fun! This game will have your students laughing as they watch their friends try to act out scenes without speaking.
How to Prepare the Game:
1- Download the game
2- Print the cards
3- Laminate for durability
How to play Charades:
You can divide your students into teams or play as a whole group. Students take turns to act out what the cards say. The goal is to have the other players guess the title the student is acting. The only catch is that the student can’t speak or make any sounds at all.
The student or team to guess the word or phrase gets a point.
Why it works:
This is a fun and effective way for students to learn new vocabulary. It's also very easy to set up! All you need are some playing cards, which can be easily found online or at your local store.

Examples of games you can play in your target language :
If you're playing charades in your target language, then the game will naturally become more difficult. For adults learning a new language, playing this game can help them learn many colloquial expressions which are great for understanding how native speakers really speak! If playing with children or teaching young kids about another language like Spanish, French, or Japanese; playing charades is a great way for them to learn new words and phrases too! Kids can even play playing cards with their parents in the target language.
Tips when playing card games in another language: Adults learning a new language will also enjoy playing this game since there are many colloquial expressions that adults may use every day but children aren't exposed to yet. If playing cards in another language, it's a good idea for students or children to make up their own rules and actions if they don't know what the word is on the playing card!
Playing charades can also be used as an alternative assessment strategy too; teachers can simply give students playing cards with words and phrases instead of playing the traditional game. You can even give students playing cards with pictures and then have them make a sentence using different parts of speech in order to show their understanding!
