How to play:
Charades is a classic party game where players act out words or phrases without speaking while others try to guess what they are. To play Charades, start by having one person (the actor) secretly look at a word or phrase that needs to be acted out.
The actor then uses only gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to act it out. No talking, sound effects, or writing allowed. The rest of the group watches and tries to guess the word or phrase (within a time limit if you want).
You can act out things like movies, books, songs, actions, animals, or famous people. The fun comes from being silly, over-the-top, and creative with your clues. When someone guesses correctly, they earn a point (or their team does), and a new person becomes the actor.
How to print at actual size
1. Open the Print dialog (Ctrl + P on Windows or ⌘ + P on Mac).
2. Under Page Sizing or Scale, select “Actual Size” or set Scale to 100 %.
3. Make sure “Fit to Page” or “Shrink to Fit” is turned off and Borderless printing is disabled.
4. Confirm the printer’s paper size matches your card (A5, US Letter, 5×7, etc.).
5. Click Print.
