Instructions:
Charades is a game of pantomimes: you have to “act out” a phrase without speaking, while the other members of your team try to guess what the phrase is.
The objective is for your team to guess the phrase as quickly as possible.
Divide the players into two teams, preferably of equal size.
Divide the cards between the two teams.
Select a neutral timekeeper/scorekeeper, or pick members from each team to take turns.
Agree on how many rounds to play.
Review the gestures and hand signals and invent any others you deem appropriate.
The team that guesses more cards wins!
Instructions:
On each turn, you mark any box you like, but you must also eliminate an empty neighboring box.
Eliminating a diagonal neighbor is allowed
The winner is whoever creates the largest group of connected marks. (Diagonal connections count)
Play until no more moves are possible
Instructions:
Each player takes it in turns to draw a 2 x 1 (or 1 x 2) rectangle on the grid.
Whoever cannot fit in another rectangle onto the grid loses.
With the tricky grid templates (template 3 onwards), the rectangle must fit perfectly onto two squares.
Instructions:
Each player takes turns rolling two dice
Colour in the number of squares which is equal to the two dice numbers multiplied together
The player with the most squares covered wins
Instructions:
The teacher will roll a dice and read out the number
Children put this number somewhere in the grid
This is done another eight times (until all of the grid is filled out)
Add each of the three numbers in each column to find the total
The number closest to 1000 wins!
