My kids favorite quick card game is Spoons. They love it! So here is a quick explanation:
- Count the number of players
- Place one less spoon in center of circle then there are number of players
- Shuffle the deck of cards
- Deal out four cards to each player
- The Dealer places the deck of cards to his right
- The Dealer then takes the top card, places it in his hand, then chooses a card to discard. The object is to get four of a kind first.
- The Dealer discards a card quickly to the player on the left.
- The Dealers discard pile becomes the player to his/her lefts deck to draw from.
- Then the player on the left repeats to the player on his left, and so on until all the player now have a discard pile and a draw pile.
- Play continues until a player has four of a kind
- At this time the player grabs on of the spoons
- Once one player grabs a spoon all players quickly grab a spoon, one player will not get one and is out for the next round.
- For the next round remove one spoon and repeat the above steps until only one player remains.
Ultimate Spoons
Like Spoons above, except instead of placing the spoons in the middle of the table, you put the spoons in a challenging place. Sometimes we just throw them and not look where they land. You might place them on the other side of the room, in a different room completely, in the snow, bottom of a pool, etc. Take all safety precautions in your spoon placement and remove all obstacles. Some rough housing could cause injury. You have to run and get them, things could be broken and fought over. People might be jumping over couches, etc. Super fun, but crazy at the same time! Play at your own risk!
For added fun instead of spoons, make it a prize that gets nicer with each round.

It's charades with a fully dresses blow up doll. There were a few inappropriate cards that I found. And several that are not inappropriate, but you could easily make them inappropriate if you tried. So, depending on your group you may need to make a G-rated rule.
