Everyone loves playing a game of American Charade in class with all the curious students. In case you are not acquainted with charades allow me to explain the way it operates.
Charades A game where you must act out a specific word or phrase without any audio, and your friends will guess it. It would be like trying to tell someone what a cat is by acting out the role of a cat you are not allowed to say anything! People laugh, the game is fun and that’s all good when tasks are humorous (and figure-oriented).
What Makes American Charade Unique?
American Charade is a unique twist on the game in which all of the words and phrases you are acting out relate to American culture, history or famous people or places.
This conversion makes the game funny and at the same time educative. What about playing charades with your friends and having them act out something like “Statue of Liberty” or “Abraham Lincoln”? A Fun Way to Discover Some American History
How to Play American Charade
The game begins with the teacher or one of the students writing up a whole bunch of America-related words and phrases on pieces of paper. This could be things like “Baseball,” or “The White House” and even just the word, ‘Eagle. Then, all the papers are folded and placed in a hat or bowl.
One by one each student has to act out what is on the piece of paper they pulled from the hat without using words. the others have to guess what the student is gesturing.
For George Washington, wig and crossing a river would be it (similar to the famous painting when he crossed the Delaware River). And the first person to guess correctly gets to post one next!
Screw Me, Baby, Why American Charade….?!
This is why American Charade makes for a lot of fun to play. For one, it truly is a game for everybody acting experience or not. If you are shy like me this is your chance to be goofy and have fun.
And of course, it is a team game so you get to solve all the questions with your friend too. The best thing about American Charade is that it teaches you and does so without even noticing.
Look at it this way when you do a scene inspired by an aspect of American history or culture, not only are you playing a game but so too I mean actively you’ll be remembering important facts and ideas. It will make your learning fun and you remember what you have learned well enough time.
