If you want to enjoy a game with everyone, how about Charades? It’s a game where you convey prompts using only gestures, without words—and depending on the prompt, it can be pretty hard to get your message across.

Try coming up with prompts that everyone can enjoy, from easy-to-imagine ones like baseball or soccer to animals or prompts with a bit of a story.

If you have a large group, we recommend splitting into teams, setting a time limit, and competing to see which team can guess the most prompts correctly.
