Pros

- When younger children play with adults or older children, they can learn new vocabulary and expand general knowledge.

Considerations
- Children with weaker processing speed, vocabulary, or reasoning may feel uncomfortable when they need to be the guesser.
- Students may not like the loudness of the shouting out of answers.
- Players must sit and watch when it is not their team's turn.
Mindprint Expert Review
Reverse Charades is a fun, family game of charades that promotes cooperation and flexible thinking. Multiple people from the same team are simultaneously performing a charade for a single team member. They try to perform as many correctly guessed charades as possible for the single team member before time runs out. The words on the cards are easy-to-read and should generally be familiar to most children. Unfortunately, they do not include a definition for students who might need the extra help. This is a fun way for children to move around, have fun, and be creative. Parents can easily adapt the rules to make it comfortable for all players, such as having two guessers for younger children or those with weaker vocabulary or processing speed.
