Camp Charades

What you need

• A list of 30+ camp-themed charade words (written on scraps of paper and folded)
• A timer (phone stopwatch)

How to play

1. 1.Write 30 words on scraps of paper. Suggested: pitching a tent, building a fire, a bear in camp, roasting marshmallows, reading a trail map, setting up a hammock, catching a fish.
2. 2.Split into two teams. Teams alternate turns.
3. 3.One player draws a word, has 5 seconds to read it, then acts it out silently.
4. 4.Their team guesses in 60 seconds. Correct guess = 1 point. No guess = 0 points.
5. 5.Teams alternate until all words are used. Most points wins.

What success looks like

Team with the most correct guesses wins.

Variations

• One word limit: the actor can only use one repeated gesture the whole time.
• Relay: the actor must tag their next teammate mid-round to continue acting — team keeps guessing.
• All-in: everyone acts simultaneously for the same word and everyone guesses — pure chaos.
