we had a lot of fun playing charades, and came up with some great ideas - easy ones, I just thought if you were able to put up some blank cards so we could make our own. thanks heaps
Hi Wendy!
Great suggestion, we've added 2 blank pages to the end, one in colour and one light grey.
You can print off several copies of these to write on them.
Good luck :)
Yes, will do! Thanks for the suggestion Wendy.
We played for the first time yesterday and had a great giggle. We played as a group and mostly seated. It was heaps of fun and I had only positive feedback from everyone.
So nice to hear Mandy! Thanks so much for your feedback!
I introduced Charades about 4 months ago and it's now a favorite. It took a while to get people out for it but once they saw how fun it was it didn't take long to get a bigger group together. We truly spend an hour laughing! I mostly just use action words (fishing, dancing, typing, building a camp fire, etc) as they are easy to act out. We also do it as a group activity not in teams and that seems to work well. Thank you for some new words to add to the one's I have!
Ah that's lovely to hear how much they enjoy a game of Charades! Thanks for your feedback Diane.
Charades is one of the most fun activities - family played it this past Christmas. It is incredibly challenging to do everything with sign language and not speak while you are doing this. Good on you for posting a version of the game (for free) so that we can use this with our Residents. I will definately be giving this a go.... it is alot of laughs!!
Thanks so much for your feedback Tricia!
