Playing games and having fun is when learning really happens in French class, and here’s a fun activity for la rentrée. You can really get your students speaking with my themed taboo games. French Taboo is a game that is easy to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike. This game includes 30 playing cards. You get a set in French and English as well as one in French only. Practical for French immersion and core French programs.

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 underlined 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. The teams take turn guessing and verifying no Taboo words have been used. You can also play this game in pairs if everyone agrees not to cheat.

Beginner students should be allowed to use the French 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.
