USE YOUR NOODLE CHARDES SUPPLIES:

• Pack of index cards
• Pen/Marker
USE YOUR NOODLE CHARADES GAMEPLAY:
Quick explanation: A twist on the charades where teams will work to guess what the upfront player(s) are acting out in the time allowed
Before the Game:
• Write out clues on the index cards (suggestions below)
Playing
• Split the group into at least two teams. Consider guys vs. girls.
• Give the players the “Quick Explanation” and rules
• Start by asking for one player from the first team to come to the front
• Have them face their team and show them the clue on the card
• On “Go!” players will have 30 seconds using the pool noodle to act out or form a clue for their team to try to guess.
• Continue the game with each team taking turns and have new upfront players each round
• Teams get 1 point for each correct guess
Rules:
• Upfront players cannot speak, make sounds, or form letters/numbers.
• The guessing team only has the allowed time to guess; if they cannot guess it correctly, the opposing team has one guess as a team to “steal” and get the point.
• Do not announce the category unless you would like. It will make it a bit more fun and difficult
Winner(s)
• Winning team is the team that has the most points at the end of the assigned rounds.
Clue Suggestions:
• Easy: Animals (moose, horse…), Food (spaghetti, burger, banana…), Object (phone, knife, straw) Sports (basketball, soccer, pole vaulting…)
• Medium: Person (firemen, soldier…) Action (walk, run, fly, question…)
