How to run a food charades game at dinner
Keep the round short - ten to fifteen minutes maximum. Split teams by side of the table and run the game between courses so the food does not go cold.
Mime the motion, not the ingredient
Twirling spaghetti reads faster than pointing at a bowl. Cracking an egg, stirring a pot, or flipping a pancake give guessers the format first and the dish second.
Food category on Showem
Showem has a food charades category that keeps generating dishes, useful when the first twenty burn through and the dessert course is still 20 minutes out.
