Adult Party Games

Charades
Charades is a game of pantomimes: you have to "act out" a phrase without speaking, while the other members of your team try to guess what the phrase is. The objective of the game is for your team to guess the phrase as quickly as possible.
Equipment
blank pieces of paper
a timing device (eg stopwatch)
scorekeeping pad
two containers for the slips
Preparation
Divide the players into two teams. Divide the slips of paper between the two teams. Select a neutral timekeeper/scorekeeper, or pick members from each team to take turns. Agree on how many rounds to play. Review the gestures and hand signals and invent any others you deem appropriate.
The teams temporarily adjourn to separate rooms, to come up with phrases to put on their pieces of paper. These phrases may be:
plays
television shows
quotations or titles of books
movies
songs.
Here are some suggested rules to prevent the phrases from being too hard to guess:
when writing down phrases choose phrases that are reasonably easy to guess
no phrase should be longer than seven words
no phrase should consist solely of a proper name (eg it should also contain other words)
no foreign phrases are allowed
Once they have finished writing their phrases, the teams come back to the same room.
The phrases are then placed into bins and each team has a member choose a phrase from the bin and then act it out for their team. Each member of each team gets a chance to act out a phrase.
