After a difficult year, many of us are looking forward to spending time with loved ones this Christmas. Charades is always an outrageously funny game to play with pals, so Express.co.uk has collated some charades categories and more than 100 ideas which are sure to be a hit. We’ve even included some Christmas-themed topics perfect for festive-themed games.
In case you didn’t know, to play charades all you have to do is act out a thing or phrase without speaking.
Set a time limit, as the aim of the game is for your team to guess what you’re acting out before time runs out.
The guessers can ask questions, and the person acting can only nod or shake their head in response.
If your team guesses the phrase or thing correctly, that’s a point for your team!
