ESL Countries and Cities Speaking Listening Activity Taboo Game
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
❖ ESL - ELL Taboo Game, Countries and Cities ❖
Playing TABOO in English is a great way to get ESL students to speak English and learn a lot of new vocabulary. This game focuses on different cities and countries around the world. It is simple to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike. Advanced students try to get teammates to guess the word at the top of the card without saying any of the "taboo" words listed below. Beginner students can still play, but they should be allowed to use the "taboo" words to help learn new vocabulary and build sentences in English.
This ESL Taboo game includes the following:
40 Taboo game cards to print, cut out and laminate if possible
Color and black and white versions included
How to play
Object of the game:
One player tries to get his teammate to guess the word at the top of a card. The player must give clues, but he can't use any of the Taboo words in his description. The taboo words are written beneath the word at the top of the card. Teams score points for each word successfully guessed. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Beginner students should be allowed to use the TABOO words printed on the cards. This will encourage them to use new vocabulary and will help them in forming sentences to use as clues.
This resource is included in my ESL - ELL speaking, listening, writing activities and games - Growing bundle.
