Charades is one of the games that have endured over time, being played for many generations in a row. In order for the game to be as engaging and fun as possible, an even number of people is needed (eg. four friends split in teams of two people). The game is based on suggesting characters, objects, animals or general expressions with gestures and mime. Charades contributes a lot to the development of creativity, initiative and intelligence of those who participate. We hope you'll all have a lot of fun playing and we wish you as many laughs and guessed words as possible!
