Charades is a great game for any group of people who just want to get together and don’t mind laughing at themselves. It takes very little to set up and can be held in your community center. If you know anyone who is shy, then you know it is sometimes hard to get everyone in a group to participate. So to start this off, try only having your staff act out the clues and allowing your residents to guess! You could also use your facebook page to gather ideas for teams to act out—just make sure they know to keep it clean! Or, maybe gather suggestions from residents for a week prior to the event in your office. Again, make sure someone reads through these ideas before you use them just to make sure they aren't inappropriate! Pair this with other games and events to add some laughter to your community---If you like this idea, you might also consider Pictionary!
