Charades Generator

A charades generator is a free online tool that gives you a random word or phrase to act out silently while your team guesses it against the clock. Instead of writing paper slips that run out or repeat, this online charades generator shuffles 600+ reviewed words by category, difficulty and audience, never repeats a word until the pool is finished, and includes a built-in timer and team scoreboard.

Choose a Quick Start (For Kids, For Family, Funny, Animals, Movies or Christmas) or set Difficulty + Category yourself, pick a game mode — Classic, Reverse or Speed — then tap Generate Word. Only the actor looks at the word (use Hide when passing the phone), start the 30, 60, 90 or 120 second timer, and act with no talking, sounds or spelling. Tap Correct for a point or Pass to skip, then the other team acts.

Use the For Kids quick start. This kids charades generator mode (also searched as charades generator for kids) only serves Easy, familiar prompts — animals like Penguin, actions like Brushing Teeth and objects like Balloon — that children can act and guess quickly. Choose the 90 or 120 second timer and Animal or Action categories to keep rounds moving for ages 4–10.

Yes. The For Family mode in this charades generator for family removes Hard prompts and mixes Easy and Medium words across animals, actions, food, places and funny moments, so grandparents and children can play together. Use two teams, the built-in Team 1 / Team 2 scoreboard, and the 60-second timer — first team to 10 points wins.

Yes. In Reverse Charades the roles flip: the whole team acts out the word together while just one person guesses. Tap Reverse Charades in Quick Start or choose Reverse in Game Mode. It is louder, faster and funnier than classic charades, works best with 4 or more players, and is ideal for office icebreakers, classrooms and large family groups because nobody is put on the spot alone.

Yes. Choose Christmas in Quick Start or the Category menu. This christmas charades generator includes festive prompts at every level — Santa Claus, Snowman and Decorating the Tree at Easy; Secret Santa, Carol Singing and Gingerbread House at Medium; Untangling Christmas Lights and Twelve Days of Christmas at Hard — perfect for school parties, office games and family gatherings in December.

Pick Movies in Quick Start or the Category menu. The charades generator movies pool has actable film prompts from Frozen, Finding Nemo and The Lion King (Easy) to Jurassic Park, Titanic and Avengers (Medium) and Dune, Parasite and 3 Idiots (Hard). Act the famous scene, character or plot — not the title word by word — and give movie rounds the 90-second timer.

Tap Funny in Quick Start. The funny charades generator pool is built for laughs: Banana Peel Slip, Brain Freeze, Cat Judging You, Wi-Fi Not Working, Forgot Why You Opened the Fridge and Stepping on a Lego. These prompts stay entertaining even when nobody guesses them, which makes them perfect for parties and icebreakers.

Use the Animals quick start or category. This animal charades generator covers pets and farm animals at Easy (Cat, Dog, Penguin), zoo and wild animals at Medium (Giraffe, Octopus, Dolphin) and silly hard prompts like Flamingo Standing on One Leg and Cat Stuck in a Box. Animals are the easiest category for kids and beginners because every prompt has a clear movement.

Yes. Paste your own words in the Your Own Words box — one per line or comma-separated — and tap Use My Words. Custom lists are perfect for classroom vocabulary, wedding or birthday inside jokes, and themed party rounds. Your words stay only in your current browser tab, are never uploaded, and you can switch back to the built-in 600+ words any time.

No. People search for a charades generator app, but this page works like an app in any phone, tablet or desktop browser — fullscreen word cards, timer with sound and vibration, team scores and no-repeats history, with nothing to install, no account and no paywall. Add it to your home screen from the browser menu if you want an app icon.

There are 600+ charades words and phrases across 15 categories (Animals, Actions, Objects, Places & Travel, Food & Drink, Movies, TV Shows, Books & Fairy Tales, People & Jobs, Sports, Nature, Phrases & Idioms, Christmas, Halloween and Funny) and 3 honest difficulty levels. Every filtered view shows exactly how many words are in that selection and how many are left.

No, not until the filtered pool runs out. This random charades generator remembers every word shown in your tab, shows your played history, and only reshuffles when the pool is exhausted — or instantly when you tap Reset History. Nothing is stored on a server.

One player acts a secret word silently — no talking, sounds, mouthing words, spelling or pointing at objects in the room — while their team guesses. A correct guess before time runs out scores 1 point, then teams swap. 60 seconds is the classic round; use 90–120 seconds for kids, Hard words and movies, and 30 seconds for Speed mode. First team to 10 points wins. Standard signals: tug your ear for "sounds like", hold up fingers for the number of words, and make a chopping motion on your forearm for syllables.
