ELA Vocabulary Review Game, Literary Devices Game, Taboo Style, 6-12

$4.99

Talk your partner onto metaphor without saying comparison or like. This ELA vocabulary review game covers literary devices, figurative language and grammar in Google Slides, PowerPoint or print.

Good For

  • Reviewing literary terms before a reading test or an essay
  • Sub days, Fridays, and any period that needs the last 20 minutes filled
  • Classes that can define a term on a quiz but never use it when they talk

How a Round Runs

  1. A table of 6 splits into 3 pairs and shares one tablet or one pile of cards
  2. The describer sees the term. A checker from another pair reads the same card
  3. 60 seconds of describing. Every term the partner guesses is one point
  4. Say a banned word and that card scores nothing. Pass the tablet along

Why It Works

  • The banned words are the textbook definition, so students have to build their own
  • Only the describer and one checker see the card, so nobody else gets the answer
  • 100 terms, so one purchase covers devices, story structure, grammar and writing

Here is a quick look at the game:

Description

What’s Included

  • A 104 slide tablet deck in Google Slides: a title slide, 2 how to play slides, a strand menu, 100 card slides, and a closing slide. Prefer PowerPoint? Download your copy in 3 clicks, instructions included
  • Every card slide shows the term, the 4 banned words, the strand, where you are in the pile, and a Strands button that jumps back to the menu
  • 19 printable pages: a teacher rules page, a student table card, a table score sheet, 12 cut apart card sheets of 10 cards each, and 4 matching card backs
  • Color and ink-saver black and white, in US Letter and A4

The 4 Strands

Literary Devices, Story Elements, Grammar, and Reading and Writing, 25 terms each. Metaphor, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, irony, protagonist, climax, omniscient, antecedent, semicolon, thesis, paraphrase, annotate and 88 more.

Works On

Windows, Mac, Chromebooks, iPads and Android tablets. One device per table is enough, and the printable cards need no screen at all.
