Social Studies Vocabulary Game, Taboo Style Review Game, Grades 6-12

$4.99

Get your partner to say supply without using demand or sellers. This social studies vocabulary game hands each table one tablet in Google Slides or PowerPoint, or a printed pile, covering geography, civics, economics and world history.

Good For

  • Unit review in world history, civics, geography or an economics elective
  • Sub days, Fridays, and the last stretch of a long period
  • Getting quiet classes talking about content instead of copying notes

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

  • Students cannot fall back on the textbook phrase, so they have to explain the idea
  • Only the describer and one checker see the card, so the answer stays hidden
  • 100 terms, so one purchase covers four different courses or units

Here is a quick look at the game:
