Charades

This holiday season, we thought we’d highlight a classic game appropriate for the whole family. Enter Charades. Charades has been a popular party game since the 18th century, when it started in France as a parlor game with a decidedly literary tone. Over the centuries, the word guessing game has evolved and now invites players to guess, via the miming talents of other players, words in categories that include movies, television shows and books. Today, with apps and websites dedicated to generating Charade word ideas for players, it’s a potentially more seamless game experience, but a good old-fashioned bowl filled with word ideas written out on pieces of paper, works just as well. Ideal for the entire family, Charades is a perfect game for the holidays. It’s inclusive, gets everyone on their feet and exercises the mind, body and funny bone!
