4. Station 2—Taboo Vocabulary Game
In this version of the Taboo Game, each group of 2-4 students receives a deck of vocabulary cards, face down. (Partner or Group of 3 or 4)
One student takes the top card and gives clues to help the other students guess the target word in the black box on the top of the card. In giving clues, the student may not use the two taboo words listed below the target word.
Students should be instructed to use only biological clues (e.g. no "sounds like" or references to popular culture). The person who guesses the target word correctly gets the card and takes the next card from the deck to give clues to the other students. Once the deck is completed the student with the most cards is the winner.
Alternatively, two students can play together and there will not be a winner (or loser).
