Rules

1. Split up into two (or more) teams. Teams should be of roughly equal size.

2. Determine which team goes first. Flip a coin, roll dice, etc. Teams decide who will act first.

3. That person gets a Charades word or phrase and acts it out. All other players on that player's team have one minute to guess the answer. No speaking, mouthing words, or noises of any kind allowed! If the team whose turn it is guesses right, they score a point.

4. Otherwise, the team with the next turn gets a chance to steal. They get one guess and score a point if they guess correctly. If the next team guesses incorrectly, the turn is over and no points are awarded.

5. The game continues in similar fashion, with teams taking turns and alternating actors. Make sure everyone gets a chance to act!

6. After a set number of turns, the game ends and the team with the most points wins. Optionally, teams may be required to win by two points.
