Charades, free and nothing to download
This online charades game gives you cards with movies, jobs, animals, actions, sports, objects and famous people to act out without talking. Your team has 60 seconds to guess as many as it can while the phone keeps score. It's the classic party game everyone knows, ready to play with your group with zero prep.
Tips and variations
- With young kids, stick to animals and actions: they're the easiest categories to act out.
- Agree on helper gestures before you start, like tugging your ear for "sounds like".
- If a team doesn't get it, let the other team try to steal the card to raise the stakes.
