Title: “Body Language Charades”

Objective: To guess the body language being acted out by the other players.

Number of players: 3 or more

Materials needed: None

Instructions:

  1. Choose one player to start the game. They will act out a body language cue without speaking or making any sounds.

  2. The other players will have to guess what body language cue is being acted out. They can ask yes or no questions to help them guess.

  3. The player who guesses correctly gets to act out the next body language cue.

  4. If no one can guess the body language cue within a certain amount of time (e.g. 1 minute), the player who acted it out can reveal the answer and no points are awarded.

  5. Keep playing until everyone has had a chance to act out a body language cue or until a certain number of points is reached.

Variations:

  • To make the game more challenging, players can act out multiple body language cues in a row and the other players have to guess all of them correctly.

  • To make the game more competitive, players can keep track of their points and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

  • To make the game more educational, players can discuss the meanings and cultural differences of the body language cues after they have been guessed.
