This simplified version of charades is a great activity for the whole family.
- Before the game, glue the magazine pictures onto the index cards.
- Place the cards into a hat or other container.
- Each person gets a turn to "act it out." The player removes a picture from the hat and gets 10 seconds on the timer to imitate/mime the character on the card. When the time is up, other players guess the picture.
- You can choose to let the person who guesses correctly have the next turn or the turns can be predetermined.
