Play Charades
You or your child have probably played charades. In a traditional game of charades,
one person draws a word, for example, "angry." Without talking, that person acts out
the word - shaking a fist, stomping, growling, and any actions that seem angry.
Eventually, someone in the group guesses correctly.
How does someone with a visual impairment play charades? They can play it well.
Try these versions.
Follow the game's instructions below:


Your leader chooses a word and lets only two players see it.
These two players work together. One of the players acts out the word or
phrase where only his partner can see him - maybe around a corner or
standing behind the other players.
The partner is the only one who can see what is being acted out and describes
the actions to the rest of the players.
The rest of the players have to guess the answer, based only on the
description.
