Nouns — Charades

How to Play — Nouns
Noun charades is all about acting out everyday objects, places, and things. When you draw a noun card, think about how you interact with that object in daily life. For "camera," mime holding one up and snapping a photo. For "umbrella," pretend to open it and hold it over your head. The beauty of noun charades is that most words have a clear, physical representation. Start by showing the size and shape of the object, then demonstrate how it's used. If it's a compound word, break it into parts — for "sunglasses," show the sun (point up and shade eyes) then glasses (mime putting them on). Nouns are the perfect starting category for beginners!
