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 kids 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.
