How to play
- Make two teams and prepare chits with words, or use the charades lists.
- A player takes a chit and starts drawing. The team shouts guesses.
- The drawer may nod or shake their head, but may not speak or write letters.
- A word guessed within 60 seconds scores one point.
- Teams take turns. Every player must draw at least once.
Tips and variations
- On a video call, the drawer holds the paper to the camera, or shares a whiteboard screen.
- Words that work well: festivals, household things, animals and sports.
