How to play with these Charades ideas
Choose your kind of prompt
Filter by category and difficulty, then draw. Only the actor should see the word. The generator will not repeat a prompt until you reset the deck or change filters.
Act it out
Use movement and expressions, with no talking, spelling or sounds. Start with an easy action to show the group what a turn looks like.
Take turns
Try one-minute turns, one point for each correct guess, and alternating teams. Generate a printable list if you would rather put the device down.
Example: For “Brushing your teeth,” mime holding a toothbrush and brushing. Let the team guess without speaking or spelling the answer.

Good to know
Will the generator repeat a word?
Not within the current filtered deck. Once all matching prompts have been drawn, reset the deck or change a filter. Printing creates a separate list and does not consume the current deck.
Can I use these prompts in the online Charades room?
Use this generator for a shared-screen or paper game. The synchronized Charades room has its own built-in prompt pack; this generator does not change that room’s cards.
Want a room for everyone?
The browser game handles the turns with its own built-in prompts.
