Charades is such a fun game that’s guaranteed to provide lots of laughter. These kids charades ideas come with a free printable that you can just print, cut out & place into a bowl. Split your group into two teams – Team A and Team B.

You’ll also need a timer so that each actor tries to get the other players to guess the correct answer within a set time.
