Q: Common gestures allow you to bypass concepts you'll have to express each turn, like categories, so you can get to the good stuff. But it would be unfair if a few players didn't know these, so run through common gestures with all players before starting. Because every word or phrase will fall into a category, it helps to have standard gestures for these. This way you don't have to waste time thinking up a unique gesture on the spot and can instead focus on gestures useful for the words on the slip. Indicate book titles by unfolding your hands, as though opening a book. Gesture as though you are cranking old fashioned camera for movies. Draw a square or rectangle in front of you to signify TV shows. Pretend to sing (without actually singing) for song titles. Pull on a rope to raise a theatre curtain to indicate plays. Make air quotes with your fingers when your slip has a quote or phrase. When a teammate is close, allow excitement to show on your face. Use the distance between your fingers or hands to indicate closeness. To discourage teammates on the wrong track, point at them and shake your head "No" or form an X with your arms. If a teammate is on a roll and they seem like they might say the right word, use a beckoning "come here" gesture or roll your hands in a circle. Moving your hands farther apart usually means "more," but in some cases, this can also mean the word is "bigger," like when it has a prefix or suffix. In some situations, your teammates might have the right word, but it might not be in the right tense, or it may need to be plural when they've said it in the singular. When a teammate is close, point to them and then: Link your little fingers together to indicate a word is plural. Wave your hand behind you in a "way back" gesture for past tense. Do the opposite of this for future tense. By cupping your hand to an ear, you'll signal to your team that you're only acting out a word that sounds like the one you're working on. After that gesture, if you pointed to your eye, it would be obvious the word you're working on is "I." The faster you clearly gesture, the more quickly your team will be able to guess your phrase. Practice by playing Charades often so gestures come to you naturally, without wasting time thinking. If you have difficulty clearly expressing yourself through gestures and you really want to get good, take an improv class or a mime class.
A: Discuss common gestures with all players. Express categories with standard gestures. Encourage guesses on the right track. Guide teammates to the right tense or form of words. Use similar sounding words to your advantage. Improve your game with practice and speed.

Article: Cutting your hair, updating your makeup, trying out a new wardrobe are all ways that you can reinvent yourself. If you're making a change in your life, try changing your appearance to fit the new you. Most of us need a new look every five years or so. The clothes that you wore in high school might be outdated in college. If you're a young professional, it's time to trade in your college duds for more professional outfits. Look around at pictures of people who are living the life you'd like to be living to get some ideas of changes you can make in your own look. Even though hair, makeup and clothing might seem to be a superficial approach to changing who you are, these things reflect your idea of yourself. The way you appear to be affects the way you are treated by the world, and the way you think of yourself. Many people find themselves stuck in a rut of wearing the same colors again and again. If you've been wearing an all-black wardrobe since you were a teen, it's time to add some color. Adding new colors to your outfits creates a whole new look. Get rid of any clothes you no longer want to wear. Going through your closet and donating the old clothes to charity will make space for your new self. Don't forget about accessories. Adding new belts, scarves, and jewelry to old outfits can update them and make them new for you. Nothing makes a statement about your new change more than changing your hair. Whether you dye it, cut it, add extensions, or shave it off, making a dramatic change in your hairstyle will have an impact on your appearance. The right hairstyle can make you appear thinner, younger, and healthier. Try getting a hairstyle you've never considered before, and find out how it affects who you are. If you're changing who you are, you'll want to develop a new basic wardrobe. If you have a clear idea of who you want to be, make sure that everything in your wardrobe backs up this basic look. Have at least 10 pieces of clothing that fit your new style, and make sure they all go together. These 10 pieces of clothes will be different for every person. An investment banker's core essentials will look different from a Soho artist's essentials. Pick the clothing that's right for your new look. Getting a new tattoo or piercing doesn't have to be a rebellious act. Instead, this might be a good way for you to establish that you're changing who you are. What tattoo might symbolize this for you? People often use symbols like a butterfly, mermaid, or other abstract symbols to recognize their transformation. Make sure you go to clean, professional tattoo and piercing locations. Realize that any tattoo is permanent. Before committing, make sure it's something you want to keep forever.
