Ideas for Charades for Children

Charades is a perfect game to help your children develop creativity and motor skills. Whether guessing or acting out a clue, children love to explore new ways of expressing themselves. With its interactive foundation, Charades encourages children to get off the couch while spending time with their friends and family.

Animals
- Animals are always a great idea for children's charades. Animal names are familiar and children have a great time acting out the word. If the children are fairly young, use names with easy spellings. There are countless animals that would be perfect for a game of charades, such as ants, bats, cats, dogs, dinosaurs, elephants, fish, kangaroos, monkeys, snakes or whales.
Tools
- Tools can also be fairly simple for children to act out. They can be grooming tools like a brush or a comb, or eating tools, like spoons, forks or knives, or carpentry tools like hammers, saws or shovels.
Movies
- Children love to act out their favorite scenes in movies or pretend that they are the movie star. The most popular children's movies usually make the best clues in a game of charades so animated Disney movies or other childhood favorites are good ideas.
People
- People can also be a great idea for charades. Try including ideas like Barbie or Winnie the Pooh, characters from a child's favorite book or maybe even Mom and Dad.
