And that too without worrying about the stares.
3. Play Smart with Dumb Charades
Jazz up your movie night with the game of dumb charades. Put on a rom-com or one of your other fave films, and act out a scene. While it can be something steamy, you can also just reenact your best “I’m Flying” scene from the evergreen – Titanic.
