==Rules of the Acted Charade==
The rules of the acted charades used vary widely and informally, but in its most common form the players divide into two [[team]]s. One team member is selected to be the pantomime, is provided with a randomly selected word or phrase in secret (usually on a slip of paper drawn from a container), and then has a limited period of [[time]] in which to convey this to his teammates. No sounds or lip movements are allowed. The teams alternate until each team member has had an opportunity to pantomime.
A number of standard signals have come into common usage in charades. To indicate the general category of a word or phrase:
Line 111:
;"Close, keep guessing!"
:Frantically wave your hands about to keep the guesses coming, or pretend to fan yourself, as if to say "getting hotter".
;"Not even close, I'll start over"
:Wave hand in a wide sweep, as if to say
;"The opposite" or "the antonym of what you are saying"
