125 Geography Charades Ideas

Countries, capitals, cities and landmarks, from Argentina and Finland to the Dead Sea, the Sahara Desert and Buckingham Palace. Geography charades turns a party game into a quick trip around the world.

How to act out geography charades

  • Split names into sound-alike chunks, such as “Sid” + “knee” for Sydney.

Best for: Older kids, teens, adults and classrooms.
