Official Family Charades Game

October 01, 2013
Sometimes spending quality time together can be tough. Even when the family is under the same roof, it doesn’t always feel like it. This year, start a new tradition. Gather everyone in the living room and play good old-fashioned charades. This stocking stuffer is fun to make and will provide memories for years to come.

Materials

  • Craft sticks
  • Markers
  • Canning jar
  • Ribbon

Instructions

  • 1 Brainstorm a list of movies, books, famous people, and actions. Or create your own categories! Use this printable list as a guide to help you get started. If you have little ones in your family, create an easy list for them and a harder list for the adults.
  • 2 Test the marker to make sure the ink doesn’t bleed on the wood. Print each item on a craft stick. Sometimes the ink will rub off on your hand (or worse, clothes!) before it’s dry so give it a moment to set.
  • 3 To mix up the level of difficulty, print the harder list in a different color on the other side of each craft stick. That way everyone can get involved! When a player pulls out a stick, they can choose easy or difficult.
  • 4 Place the finished craft sticks in a decorative jar and tie a ribbon around it. Place this printable label, inspired by the Ziploc® Holiday Collection swirl design, on the inside of the jar or create your own and customize with your family name!
