How to Play — Places
Places charades requires you to transport your audience to a location through mime! For landmarks, show their distinctive shape — the Eiffel Tower's pointed top with your arms, a pyramid's triangle shape. For everyday places like a supermarket, mime the activity you do there — pushing a cart, scanning items. Natural places are great for full-body acting: for "beach" mime swimming and sunbathing, for "volcano" show an explosion from a mountain top. The best strategy is to combine the place's visual shape with the activity people do there. For famous buildings, show the size and scale first, then a distinguishing feature.
