ESL - ELL Taboo Speaking Game, House and Home Vocabulary

(0)
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 HOUSE AND HOME vocabulary. 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: 30 Taboo game cards to print, cut out and laminate if possible Color and black and white versions included 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.

If you laminate them you'll have a no prep activity ready to go for years to come! Put the game cards in a stack and divide your students into small teams. Give each team gets a stack of questions. This grammar board game has a grid of 35 boxes. The first player to reach box 35 wins. There are lots of fun tricks along the way, so getting to the end isn’t always so easy! In groups of two to four, players take turns rolling a die to move their piece forward. Spaces are numbered and players follow the arrows to keep track of which way they’re moving. There are some spaces with special instructions: Départ - Start Avance de 5 cases - Move forward 5 spaces Recule de 5 cases - Move backward 5 spaces Rejoue - Play again Tu perds ton tour - Lose a turn Fin - End Use the passé composé question cards so that students must answer after rolling in order to move forward. If students answer the question correctly, they can move forward. If not, it’s the next player’s turn. There is a total of 150 playing cards. 50 of them can be used when teaching basic passé composé of regular verbs with avoir. There are also 50 that only use être, and another set of 50 to practice être or avoir with both regular and irregular verbs. All of the short sentences are written in the present tense, and some use negation. Students just need to restate the sentence in the passé composé.
