Charades words for teens

Teen rounds work best with quick social references, movement-heavy prompts, and short timers.

Keep turns fast

Teens usually prefer high tempo. Use shorter timers and frequent prompt changes to maintain energy.

Let teams choose one category each

Team-picked categories increase buy-in and reduce complaints about unknown prompts.
