How to Play — Verbs
Verb charades is the most physical category — you literally perform the action! When acting out verbs, the key is exaggeration. Don't just walk; march with high knees. Don't just eat; mime taking enormous bites. Verbs often have the advantage of being immediately recognizable if you commit to the performance. For multi-syllable verbs, try acting out related simpler actions first to build context. "Celebrating" could start with jumping and clapping, while "discovering" might begin with searching motions and then showing surprise. Remember, your whole body is your tool — use facial expressions, arm movements, and even your legs!
