Reverse Charades Junior is fun for family play

Reverse Charades Junior is a great charades game for families.

Last year we reviewed Reverse Charades and Rollick – a couple games that employed the same new charades game mechanic. Both of these games had a twist on the typical charades game play of 1 person acting out while their teammates tried to guess the word or phrase. Instead, as the name implies, Reverse Charades and Rollick challenges the group to act out while only 1 person guesses.

Who knew that such a simple twist on charades could lead to so much fun.

However, even though they’re a lot of fun to play, we found that they aren’t as fun for children. A lot of the reason why they aren’t as fun for family play with kids is because many of the words are unfamiliar to a younger crowd. So instead we mostly play Reverse Charades and Rollick when we’re with a group of adults.

But then along came Reverse Charades Junior and it all changed. Now we can have a great time playing this fun charades game with our whole family. And it’s not limited to just our kids. We recently took Reverse Charades Junior with us on a vacation with our extended family and playing it was a big hit.

Everyone in the family had a terrific time acting, guessing, and laughing a ton. When it’s not your team’s turn, it’s hilarious to watch the many other team members trying to act out the words. Seeing the different way each person will act out a word is a lot of fun. With one person acting it’s easy to focus. But when you have 5 people trying to act something out and each one doing it slightly different, the pressure is now on the guesser.

Another funny phenomenon is seeing how each person acting out will slowly draw closer to the guesser straining to get their attention. And before you know it, everyone’s as close as they can get with the pained expression of “why can’t you understand what I’m acting out?”

Great words for kids
Reverse Charades Junior is full of words that kids can enjoy acting out as well. If your youngsters can read, then they can play. And even though the words are easy for kids to understand, adults also still have a lot of fun acting out things like toothpaste, dog pile, bee sting, glass slipper, and slam dunk.

So if you’ve got a group of 6 or more and you’re looking for a fun and active game to play that will keep you laughing and having a great time, we’d highly suggest you play Reverse Charades Junior.
