Play Charades

Charades is a cheap, easy, fun game to play. Best of all, you don’t really need anything but two people and their imaginations to play.  Simply take turns acting out words while the other person guesses.  The first person/team to guess 5 (or 10, or any other pre-agreed upon number) wins!  Of course, you can get fancy and buy the board game, or “Guesstures,” a close cousin to Charades.  To make it easier for people in later stages of the disease, try using simpler ideas to act out, play with teams, or don’t keep score.  Need ideas for topics or categories?  Try www.charades-ideas.com .
