How to play Holiday Charades Generator
- Word generator: switch the holiday categories you want on or off. Pick a difficulty and press New word. Turn on Hide words until tapped so only the actor sees the word.
- The actor acts the word out without speaking, making sounds or pointing at things in the room, while everyone else shouts guesses.
- Team game: choose 2 to 6 teams, a turn length and the number of rounds. One player acts for their own team; tap Got it for a point or Skip to move on.
- When time runs out you see the words guessed and skipped. After the last round, the team with the most points wins.
Controls
- Space or →: new word / got it
- ←: previous word / skip
- S: skip during a team turn
- Swipe the card on a phone
Tips
- Cast the page to a TV for scores, but pass the phone to the actor so the word stays secret.
- Mix ages by letting younger kids play the Easy words and adults the Hard ones.
- Classic signals help: fingers for the number of words, and a tap on the forearm for syllables.
FAQ
How do you play holiday charades?

Is it suitable for kids and work parties?
Yes. The words are everyday objects, actions and traditions, written to be family-friendly and work-safe, with no film titles, song titles or brand characters.
How many teams can play?
The team game supports 2 to 6 teams with turns of 30 to 120 seconds. For a casual game, use the word generator and let anyone guess.
