Animals are always a great idea for children's charades. Animal names are familiar and children have a great time acting out the word. If the children are fairly young, use names with easy spellings. There are countless animals that would be perfect for a game of charades, such as ants, bats, cats, dogs, dinosaurs, elephants, fish, kangaroos, monkeys, snakes or whales.

Tools can also be fairly simple for children to act out. They can be grooming tools like a brush or a comb, or eating tools, like spoons, forks or knives, or carpentry tools like hammers, saws or shovels.
