Wednesday 17th June: Literacy Games

Charades

Play a game of charades with your family.  You can choose topics like films, books, songs and TV shows to act out.

Rules:

  1. Absolutely no speaking; all your clues should be actions.
  2. Let your family know what genre you are acting out (e.g book – put the palms of your hands together then open outwards).
  3. Indicate how many words in your title by using your fingers.
  4. You can act out each word individually, in any order, or act out the whole title.
  5. If someone gets a word correct, indicate this by pointing at them and putting 1 finger on your nose.
  6. The winner then goes up next to act out.

Hangman

Similar to Charades, select a title of film, book etc.  Draw the hangman template out and use  dash lines to represent each letter in your word.  A space between words should be represented with a /.  Ask people for letters and enter them in the correct line dash.  Any incorrect letters given are noted at the side and a part of the body is drawn.  If a full body is drawn then there is no winner.  If a correct guess is made before the full body is drawn then the person who guesses correctly wins and takes the next turn.

If you want, you can video your game of Charades as this can be a great laugh.  Or send in photographs of any of your games.  Have Fun!!!
