Halloween Charades
Halloween is the easiest theme to run charades on, because almost every word already has a movement attached. A zombie, a witch, a bat — the gesture is built in. It is the best pack for a classroom or a party where people keep joining halfway through, since nobody needs the rules explained twice.
