Charades word generator: what it is for
The generator draws words from six categories (animals, jobs, objects, actions, food and movies or cartoons), at an easy level for kids, a hard level or mixed, without repeating until the list runs out.
The word hides with one tap, so only the person acting it out sees it. There's a timer with the time you choose and a scoreboard for two teams.
How to use
- Choose the category, level and time.
- Draw the word and show it only to the person acting.
- Start the timer and score a point for the team that guesses.
When to use it
- Charades at parties and family gatherings.
- Pictionary with paper and pencil.
- Games at school and with kids.
Frequently asked questions
How do I play charades with the generator?
Split the group into two teams. On a team's turn, one person draws a word without showing the others and acts it out, without talking, while the team tries to guess before time runs out. If they get it, the team scores a point; then the turn passes.
Does it work for Pictionary?
Yes. Instead of acting it out, the person draws the word on paper. The same categories and levels work well for both games.
Do words repeat?
Not until the chosen category's list runs out: drawn words leave the list. When all of them have been drawn, it's shuffled again.
