Charades sports words

Sports prompts add movement and clear physical cues, making rounds loud and competitive.

Show field context first

Start by signaling court, field, or water before miming the exact move so guesses come faster.

Use sports rounds to reset energy

After slower categories, sports rounds get everyone standing, laughing, and shouting guesses again.
