Start with the decision that matters for charades words

Build the round from readable word groups such as movies, animals, jobs, and actions, then let the actor point to a replacement card when a word is too hard to show.

Set up charades words before guests arrive

Put the first supplies, instructions, and stopping point where a helper can see them. Give guests one clear way to join, pass, or take a break so charades words does not depend on everyone wanting the same thing at the same time.
