Charades for Family of first timers?

Question

My family has never played charades together or even one person by themselves. I need some ideas for topics please. And anything besides the obvious rules would also help. We have 60yrs old to 6yrs old. Thanks

Usually Charades is played by two competing teams in a race against time: each time a player acts out a phrase, a stopwatch is used to track the time (with a maximum of two minutes for each turn.) The team with the least amount of total minutes and seconds wins. With young kids, however, you might want to skip the stopwatch and the competitive element. There are many variations of how to play charades. The links below provide really good info as well as some tricks of the trade for playing charades. Check it out
