Charades is a fun party game where players act out words or phrases without speaking, while their teammates try to guess what they are. The game usually involves two teams, and players take turns performing. They can use gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to convey the word or phrase, which can be anything from a movie title to a famous person like Albert Einstein. To play, one team selects a word or phrase from a predetermined list, often written on slips of paper. The player then has a set time, usually one to three minutes, to act it out. The excitement builds as teammates shout out guesses, making it a lively and entertaining experience for everyone involved!
