It probably won't be difficult to make your friends say "emoji," which is why you should pick a specific emoji to act out. That'll make the game ten times harder.

17. Dog Wearing Pants
You've probably seen this ridiculous meme recently. It's basically a picture of a dog wearing pants in two different ways, because there's a debate about how canines would wear pants if they could.
You can play charades at any time and place, as long as you have friends that are wiling to have fun with you. What other modern things do you think would be fun to act out during a game of charades?
