In Christmas Charades For Kids, all ages can play. Just print the 27 picture cards and everyone gets moving, laughing, and festive together.
Ever since I created my first ever charades game for Move Play Go, Camping Charades, my oldest (she is 7) has just adored it.
She constantly asks me to create them for her to play. She just loves the creativity of movement, the acting in front of people, and the secret guessing aspect of it all.
In Christmas Charades For Kids, you get all of that plus the joy of holiday excitement.
