I wish you would have played this game your first year! Here it is, girl - the one and only Taboo! Here’s what a few students have said: “One thing I liked about the Taboo game was that we couldn’t use certain words to explain the phrase or sentence. It made us think a little more and harder.” and “I liked that we were learning more and having fun!” This is a great review that will cause your students to grow in being self-controlled, thoughtful and teamwork - three things that I need my 6th graders to improve at. It is competitive and exciting! The class really gets into it. Materials Needed: - Taboo slides (see example) - Taboo student record sheet (template here) How to Play: - Split class into two equal teams - Set up a space on whiteboard that all team members can see to keep score How to Help Students Use the Taboo Sheet: - When you flip the slide, have all students write the taboo word or phrase under that column on the sheet - The team that isn’t playing that round is filling in anything they know to be true about the word or phrase in the “notes” column - After the team gets the word or phrase or runs out of time, ask students “What can we write in the notes section?” - Call on students to get correct information and have students put in “notes” section Rules: Examples:
