How to Play Disney Charades Game
Charades for kids is an excellent way to use their creativity and it is a super simple party game that can be played almost anywhere.
Rules for playing charades
The main rule of charades is no talking.
One person selects a card or slip of paper, secretly reading their clue. Then they must act it out using gestures. Sometimes people use hand motion symbols to give additional clues such as the category or how many words in a phrase.
Generally players split up into two teams. One member of the team acts out the clue while the rest of the team tries to guess the answer.
You can adapt the game for fewer players. For example, everyone can take turns acting out the prompt while the rest of the family makes guesses. This works well for smaller families or when the kids want to play together on their own.
You can choose whether or not to keep score. When playing with teams, the team scores a point when guessing correctly. If not using teams, the individual person who guessed right earns the point.
There is usually a time limit of 2-3 minutes, but again you may adjust that as needed.
What you need to play charades
The main item you need (besides players) are clues!
You can easily make your own version of Disney Charades using prompts from your family’s favorite movies and characters and writing them on slips of paper.

Disney movie titles are easy charades ideas because kids are familiar with many of the movies and their characters. It also provides them a lot of freedom in how to act out the clues.
The action clues are inspired by the movies and some are clearly acting out part of a scene. Those prompts may provide a little more challenge.
You and your family can decide what answers will be accepted, especially since some may have more than one correct answer, or how specific you must be to give right answer.
