How To Play Backward Charades
To get started you will need to select a guesser from each team and they will go up onto the stage facing their team and looking away from the projection screen.
When ready to start, display the first slide up on the screen so that all of the members of the teams can see it clearly for about 4-5 seconds.
As soon as the word is taken off the screen, the other members of each team are to begin acting out in order to help the guesser to figure out what the word is.
The first team to get their guesser to say the word correctly, a point is an award and the game continues until one team reach 15 points.
There are a couple of very important charades rules:
- The guesser may not turn around to look at the word on the screen
- None of the actors can make any type of sound effects
- No pointing out or drawing out of any letters or words
- Actors may use any props that can be found in the room
This game is extremely fun and encourages healthy competition through teamwork.
