Remember playing the childhood classic game "Charades"? There is a new twist to an old classic and let me promise you, it is just as much fun, if not MORE fun, than the way you grew up playing charades. Reverse Charades is a hilarious twist on charades where teams act out words for one person to guess! That's right...everyone acts out their card at the same time while one person from the team tries to guess them before the time runs out.
We live on campus at our mission board and there are lots of kids on campus with us. I took Reverse Charades Junior Edition out one afternoon and asked who wanted to play it. I had about 8 kids come follow me to play the game. However, after only a couple of rounds of play, there were about 15 kids playing because they had seen how much fun it was and how much fun their friends were having and they wanted to join in too. The kids LOVED this game and although the game ends after each person on the team has had a turn to be the "guesser", we ended up playing until we had used all the cards! That's how much they enjoyed this game. Then when it was over, several of them asked me "Mrs. Gretta, when will you let us play it again?" There are all kinds of words on the cards (from easy to medium to challenging) so I was able to pick cards that were age appropriate for each child too.
As a parent and a homeschooling Mom, I love how Revere Charades is very educational too. It helps improve children's vocabulary and English skills, reading and could even be used in an ESL class. Did you know this game has always won numerous awards too! For playing on the go, there is even apps for Apple and Droid products. Along with the original Reverse Charades and the Junior Edition Reverse Charades there are also several expansion packs so the fun never ends. Reverse Charades is a great party game for your next family game night, family reunions, church groups, homeschooling co-ops, church youth groups, etc. and will have you laughing and competing all at the same time.
Reverse Charades is available at over 2,200 stores in the US and retails for around $24.00. You can also see clips of the game in action on their YouTube channel or keep follow them on Instagram for the latest game shots.
