Charades tips & FAQ

How many animals charades words are on this easy list?

This easy list has 35 hand-picked animals charades prompts. Every one loads as plain text on the page, so you can read them all, print them, or scroll through on a phone without any sign-up or download.

What makes these animals clues "easy"?

Easy clues are the ones almost everyone recognises instantly and can mime with a single clear gesture, so younger players and big mixed groups stay in the game.

How do we play charades with this list?

Split into two teams, pick an actor, and start a one to two minute timer. The actor silently mimes the animals prompt while their team guesses. No talking, pointing at objects, or mouthing words. Score a point for each correct guess before time runs out, then swap actors and pass to the other team.
