On rainy days like these, a game that is filled with action gets the whole family involved. We love charades especially when the little ones try to act out the words they choose. It is great fun to see where there imagination takes them.
We actually have the board game Charades for Kids. It is pretty neat, because there are cards with the pictures on them, so my 4 year old can even do it for himself pretty well.
Now when I was young, we used to all sit down for about 15 minutes and come up with as many words as we could think of, then write them down and throw them into a bucket or bowl. Each of us would take turns pulling one out and acting out the word. I don’t really remember keeping score, it was just more fun to play.
If you don’t have a large storage baggie already set up for this purpose, I found a few places online that have excellent words that you can use for a quick game of Charades. With a little planning ahead you could make some wonderful memories, playing too. The main thing is to get everyone involved and have fun.
