MAIN RULES PLAYING CHARADES

• Two teams divided into equal players
• A time and score keeper is selected, usually a person not taking part or else one person from each team can take turns.
• No words. No pointing at objects in a room. No lip movements.
• Only "acting out" words or pantomiming similar sounding words.
• Two teams play against each other and divide an equal amount of charades cards between them.
• A charade card with a phrase of Team 1 is revealed to one person (the actor) of team 2 and kept secret from the rest of team 2, team 2 must guess their actor's act.
• The team demonstrating the act choose their actor, no actor may act more than once until all team members had a chance to be the actor.
• The actor has limited time (2-3 minutes) to act out the phrase to his own team.
• Decide on a time frame within which actors must complete their tasks before play commence, this will stay the same throughout the game.
• The actor can make any gestures to act out the word.
• The teams alternate until each team member had a chance to be the actor.
