Taboo Style Review Game, Vocabulary Game for Any Subject, Grades 6-12

$4.99

One student talks, the other guesses, four easy clues are banned. This vocabulary review game works in Google Slides or PowerPoint on one tablet per table, or as printed cards, for geography, history, literature and science.

Good For

  • End of unit review that gets every student talking, not just the confident ones
  • Sub days, Fridays, the last 20 minutes, and early finishers
  • Small group work when you do not want a whole class game show

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 word. A checker from another pair reads the same card
  3. 60 seconds of describing. Every word the partner guesses is one point
  4. Say a banned word and that card scores nothing. Pass the tablet along

Why It Works

  • The card never goes on the board, so the answer stays hidden from the guessers
  • Scoring is peer checked, so I never have to judge an answer from the front of the room
  • 100 cards, so one purchase covers four different units

Here is a quick look at the game:

  • Every card slide shows the word, the 4 banned words, the subject, where you are in the pile, and a Subjects 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

The 4 Subjects

Geography, History, Literature and Science, 25 cards each. Deal one subject to review that unit, or shuffle all 100 for a mixed game.

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