Paul Lamond Games 5012822058300 Charades For Kids Game

I work as children counsellor and bought this as it was reduced on amazon to see if it would be any good working with the kids I see. I work with children aged 4 -18 so getting something that they enjoy is hard.However this has became a huge hit and I find a guaranteed laugh.There are a set of 3 cards and an egg timer- although designed as a group game I find I adjust it just to play one to one too.The cards are a bit harder for the really youngkids and I find the kids from about 8 upwards understand it better. The cards have 6 options you role a dice and you have to perform one. The choice are a bit weird- easy ones like animals and then things like sipping lemonade. So sometimes the cards aren't ideal.However I have found even the most quietest kids really lovely this and brings them out their shell. There is guaranteed laughter and really brings people together of all aged . Also there is no chance of looking cool playing this- you have to be prepared to be totally daft -but definitely recommended.

Fun to play with lots of laughs as well

As a family game this one is fun...! We enjoy the fact tha tyou can play it with younger children whoc might struggle with the words but can do the mime by looking at the picture.We have played it several times now in large groups and it has been entertaining from the ages of 3 up to 85. It was played several times over the Christmas period.Some of the things that you have to mime are a little weird, like...... "Walking to school" or something similar to that. How the heck you are going to mime that I do not know...! Overall though the rest are pretty good.It would be useful and extend the life of the game to be able to buy new sets of cards, but you don't seem to be able to do that.Good family fun that is easy to play.

We love this game and my daughter plays it all the time a good buy

I ordered this to play with my grandchildren aged 4 and 7 at Christmas. Adults and children had loads of fun and lots of laughter. There are an extremely generous number of cards - 3 sets that meet the needs of different levels of reading ability. The 4 year old loved that his set had pictures on to help him and the 7 year old enjoyed decoding the clues. As a retired teacher I was pleased with the “educational value” that the game offered as well as the fun.

Great game providing hours of fun and useful for both younger and older children. It is easily transportable if you pack the cards into a small Ziploc bag and take with you. Are used to keep the kids entertained for hours. My only grumble is the excess packaging as with most games, the manufacturers could talk things about condensing the box size and packaging into a much smaller box.

Huge benefit: Some of the cards have pictures on them which make this perfect for our 4-year-old to play even though he can't read. He LOVES this game.Big con: Okay, you can tell that only 1 of the 3 clues are in picture form by looking at the listing, but only one-third of the total cards have pictures on them too. So our kid got through all the picture cards the first time we played. How hard would it be to have pictures on ALL the cards? The game is so close to being perfect, but dropped the ball here.I can recommend this game, but just be warned that you won't get as many picture cards as you would like/need.

This is a great fun game for all the family. I bought it for two children, aged 4 and 5 last Christmas. There was a whole houseful of people - oldies, teenagers, young couples and children. Some of us started playing it in the living room with the kids after Christmas dinner and when the others heard what a great time we were having, everyone came and joined us and we made up two big teams and had a really great time.The best things about this game are (1) that there are three options on the cards as well as picture cards for pre-reading age kids (2) that the nature of the game encourages even the shyest child (or adult!) to perform and have fun and (3) that it really is a game that works across all ages.Recommended wholeheartedly.
