Printable charades cards
Every charades list on the site has a matching printable card sheet: eight cards per page with cut lines, in A4 and US Letter. Print single-sided and cut, or print the card-back pages on the reverse for a deck that hides the words. Start from the charades ideas hub for themed decks.
The mixed deck picks its cards from all 1,776 charades ideas. For a party, a classroom or the holidays, pick a themed deck instead — see charades for kids and Christmas charades.
Which deck to print for your group
Print the kids deck for ages 4–8, the mixed deck for adults, and the Christmas deck for December parties. Each themed deck matches its list page, so the words you practiced on screen are the words on the cards.
Print, cut and play
Eight cards per sheet, dashed cut lines. Print at 100% scale for A4 or US Letter; the card size is fixed so cut lines line up on either paper.
- Print double-sided on the long edge so card backs line up with the words (each word page is followed by a back page).
- Cut along the dashed lines, shuffle face down, and let the actor draw one card per turn.
- Pair the deck with the charades timer for 60-second rounds.

Questions
Are the printable charades cards free?

How do I print double-sided cards?
Each PDF alternates a page of words with a page of card backs. Print double-sided, flipping on the long edge, and the backs line up with the words.
