Object of the Game

Even the littlest star can play Kids on Stage. It's easy and fun for all. The object is to encourage creativity and communication rather than competition. That's why everyone wins in this charades game! The game is finished when every player has acted out five cards.

How to Play

• Sort the cards by color and place them in three separate piles, face down.
• The oldest player (Player 1) goes first.
• Player 1 rolls the category die, then picks a corresponding color card without showing it to the other players. The card will show either an action (red cards), an object (green cards) or an animal (blue cards).
• Without speaking (sounds may be used), Player 1 acts out the action, object or animal pictured on the card. All other players guess until someone correctly identifies the action, object or animal. Note: The player's acting does not need to imitate the picture, but can represent the action, object or animal. For example, "sleeping" can be acted out by closing the eyes or lying down.
• A player's turn ends when the picture is correctly identified by another player.
• Play rotates clockwise, with the next player rolling the die and acting out a card.
• The game is finished when every player has acted out five cards.

Note on Rolling a Die: This may be the very first time a younger player uses a die. We recommend an adult or older sibling demonstrates how to roll a die before playing the game.
