✯ The movies - ESL - ELL Taboo Speaking Game ✯ Playing TABOO is a great way to get ESL students to speak English and learn a lot of new vocabulary. This game is simple to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike. In this MOVIES version of the game there are 35 playing cards. I’ve included 2 fun ways to play this fun vocabulary game and both are explained in the instructions. This ESL Taboo game includes the following: How to play classic Taboo (beginner and advanced levels) 35 Taboo game cards to print, laminate, cut out and hook together with a ring Black and white and grayscale copies are included PDF for projecting one card at a time for a whole class activity How to play 15 MINUTES MAX - an alternative version of the game 15 MINUTES MAX game board **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.

✐ Le Paragraphe de la Semaine - Primary French writing program ✐ This week long French writing program will have your students writing every day. This writing program includes five pre-writing and writing activities for Monday through Friday. The theme for this set is JE N’AI PAS PEUR DE… These writing prompts are a great way both to introduce and to review writing. Provide each student with a “paragraphe de la semaine” folder and have them add to it every day as you give them daily assignments. At the end of the week have them turn in their folders. Check out all of my French “Paragraphe de la semaine” resources! Here’s how this program works: ✍Lundi: Je dessine - Give students a drawing page with a writing prompt at the top. This will have them beginning to think about the writing theme for the week and is their first pre-writing assignment. Kids love drawing, and the pictures they draw will later serve as inspiration! ✍Mardi: Mon livret de vocabulaire - Each student receives a booklet to help them explore the vocabulary related to the week’s writing theme. The front page includes the writing prompt of the week and an image. The second page includes over 80 frequently used French words. Page three lists 12 words that go along with the theme of the week, and the back page has space for ten words that students have either thought of on their own or looked up in the dictionary. The booklet is a simple one page printable that you can either fold in advance or have students do it on their own. Kids write their name on the front cover and you could have them color it. ✍Mercredi: Vocabulaire - Students go back to their vocabulary booklets from Tuesday and choose ten words that they will include in their rough draft. The words they choose can be a combination of words they have chosen and themed vocabulary that was already written in the booklet. They then write down the chosen words on their vocabulary page that says “ Mots de vocabulaire utiles: J’utiliserai ces mots dans mon paragraphe.” ✍Jeudi: Mon brouillon - Students write a rough draft of their paragraph using the vocabulary words selected on Wednesday. The brouillon page includes a 5 point checklist at the top for students to evaluate their work for themselves before writing the final copy on Friday. This will motivate students to look over their work and make corrections. ✍Vendredi: Ma copie propre - The fifth and final step in this writing program is to write the final copy. Students should feel very confident in writing about this week’s theme by now. At the top of the final copy page they’ll see the writing prompt and question words that they can ask themselves while writing: qui - quoi - quand - où - pourquoi - comment
