Keep mimes obvious for younger players

With kids at the table, pick titles that map to one motion: shrug for Shrek, swim for Finding Nemo, roar for The Lion King. Skip anything that requires explaining a scene.

How to run a kids-and-parents round

Use partner play: an adult acts, a kid guesses. It slows the turn and keeps both sides engaged. Swap roles every other title to keep it fair.

Showem has a kids category

If easy titles dry up, Showem has a kids-friendly preset that ships more easy movies and safe categories - useful for long family evenings.
