Gameboard, charade cards, movers, game die, label sheet.
Setup
Place the labels onto the game die in any order.
If playing with children who are not able to read yet, separate the picture cards from the deck. Those players will use these cards on their turns.
Place both card decks face down.
Each player selects a mover and places it at start.
Each player rolls the die. The player with the highest roll goes first, then play moves to the left.
Playing
Start by rolling the game die. You will be acting out the charade that corresponds to the number you rolled.
Act out the charade to the player to your left, who will get the first chance to guess. They are allowed only one guess for each turn! If their first guess is incorrect, the next player gets to say one answer, and so on.
As soon as a player guesses correctly, that player moves their mover ahead 2 spaces. The player who was doing the charade moves ahead one space. If none of the players guess correctly, no players move and that round is over.
The player to the left of the charade giver now takes their turn acting out a charade and so on.
All Play Spaces
If you land on an All Play space, stay there and, ON YOUR NEXT TURN, roll the die and see what charade you have to act out. ALL the players have a chance to guess out loud—at the same time—what the charade is.
The player that guesses correctly, and the charade giver, both move ahead one space. The player to the left of the charade giver now takes their turn and so on.
Ending and Winning the Game
The first player to reach FINISH (exact count is not necessary) wins the game.
