What You’ll Need For Easter Charades:

This game requires very minimal supplies.

Any kind of timer (sand timer, phone, or digital kitchen timer)
Printer paper
Printer
Writing utensil for tallying points
Easter charades words and phrases
Bowl or bag for Easter charades
Scissors or Paper cutter

Easter Party Charades Setup

The setup for the Easter charades game is straightforward. If you don’t have a printer, simply grab some paper and a writing utensil to write down all the Easter charade words and phrases you’ll find below.

Otherwise, you can download and print the Easter charades printable located at the bottom of this post. Next, cut out each charade card and sort them into three piles based on their points.

The purple-bordered cards are worth one point, the pink-bordered cards are worth two points, and the blue-bordered cards are worth three points.

Once the cards are cut and the piles are sorted, place each pile in a bowl or bag. It can be helpful to label the container so players know how much each pile is worth during the game.

Lastly, grab a writing utensil for the score card, and you are ready to start playing!

Rules for Charades

Before starting your game, you’ll want to establish your game rules. There are different ways to play, so to ensure there won’t be any disputes over the rules mid-game, it’s best to discuss them before beginning.

First, decide if you want to play the Easter charades game individually or if you’d like to split into two teams. If you break up into teams, try to make sure they are as even as possible to make it more fun and competitive.
Next, decide how the winner will be determined. Will you play until all of the cards are gone, will you play X amount of rounds, or will you play until a team has X amount of points?
Then, decide how much time a player will get to act out their card. I recommend anywhere between 1-3 minutes. If you are playing with younger children then I’d go with 3 minutes but if you are playing with just adults then try 1-minute rounds.
Flip a coin to see which team goes first. This will be Team 1.
Team 1 chooses a player to act. This player will draw a 1-point, 2-point, or 3-point Easter charade card. (The higher the points, the more difficult the card will be)
Set a timer.
When the time begins, Team 1’s player will begin acting out their card using only body gestures and motions for the rest of Team 1 to guess. No vocal sounds are allowed.
If Team 1 guesses the correct answer before the time runs out then they will receive the amount of points that the card is worth.
If Team 1 is unable to correctly guess the card before time is up, then Team 2 is allowed one guess to steal the points.
Play until there is a winner

Playing Easter Charades With Young Kids

If you are playing Easter charades with kids, you may have to adjust the rules, especially if this is their first time playing. You can do this by allowing children extra time to act out.

Depending on their age, you may also want to consider allowing them to use vocal sounds so they don’t get discouraged (it can be very challenging the first time they play).

When it comes to charades, sometimes there can be a reading barrier. If you have toddlers and younger kids who cannot read yet, I have a separate easter charades printable that has Easter picture charades so that they can join in on the fun as well.

Because there is no writing, the answer to their card is whatever they think it is. For example, if the card has a picture of a baby chick hatching on it and they think the answer is bird, then the answer would be bird.

Common Charades Gestures

To indicate the number of words on your charades card, hold the number of fingers in the air at the start of your turn.
Before acting out a word, hold up the finger of the word you will be acting out. For example, in the phrase Dying Easter Eggs. Hold up 1 finger to act out “dying” then 3 fingers to act out “Eggs” etc.
To show a correct guess, tap your finger to your nose and then point to the person who guessed correctly.
To show your team how many syllables there are in the word, lay that many fingers on your arm.
The word “the” is represented by making the letter T with your fingers.
Point to your eye for the word “I”.
