Games that needs nothing but company
1) Charades ‘ افلام’
Originally, the game was a dramatic form of literary charades, a single person would act out each syllable of a word or phrase in order, followed by the whole phrase together, while the rest of the group guessed.
Nowadays it’s evolved into guessing almost anything!
Movies, series, books, or even objects. There are even free apps to download giving you ready ideas to guess what they are!

You just need paper, pencils & company to play with!
Most of us played that game at school, where one chooses a letter randomly and each player writes in his paper the names of animal, plant, girl, boy, and country starting with this letter and the first to complete his mission will be the winner.
