If you are a fan of Taboo®, YOU DON’T SAY! might just be the game for you. It can be played in two very different ways. If your students are confident and articulate, have them play YOU DON’T SAY! like traditional Taboo®. If, however, you have students who are uncomfortable speaking in public, turn the rules upside down. Tell them to use some or all of the words beneath the orange and black banner in their descriptions! This topsy-turvy approach encourages and empowers everyone to participate. You won’t believe what a positive game-changer it is. This file includes 32 Hallowe’en-themed cards and a template for students to make their own YOU DON’T SAY! deck.

YOU DON’T SAY! is a themed variation of Taboo® that can be played in two very different ways. If your students are confident and articulate, they can play YOU DON’T SAY! following traditional Taboo® rules. If, however, you have students who are uncomfortable giving clues, turn the rules upside down. Tell them to use some or all of the words beneath the pink and white banner in their descriptions! This topsy-turvy approach encourages and empowers everyone to participate. You won’t believe what a positive game-changer it is. This file includes 40 “Valentine” cards about friendship, relationships and love. I’ve also appended a template for students to make their own YOU DON’T SAY! deck.

Originally designed as a Modern Language tool, this virtual scavenger hunt encourages even students who are usually reluctant to participate in class to jump right in and to speak in full sentences. You’ll experience the phenomenon of an entire class listening “actively” because no one wants to waste a guess choosing a square from which the gift has already been claimed. After the oral treasure hunt, assign a handful of co-ordinates for an instant written assignment that will reinforce verb conjugations and vocabulary acquisition. “Where are my Valentine’s gifts?” has been designed to review virtually any tense. I have appended answer keys for four of them: the present, the simple past, the simple future and the conditional perfect.

To generate “rien que du blabla” in the target language, try using chatterboxes. These two cocottes en papier offer your students relaxed starting points for discussing their “tâches ménagères”. The “all text” cocotte gives students the security of choosing from a number of pre-fabricated answers. The less prescriptive, illustrated cocotte uses visual prompts to guide their answers. An “ALL TEXT” cocotte sample: Question: Quelle tâche ménagère dois-tu faire tous les jours? Choix de réponses • Je dois faire mon lit. • Je dois nourrir le chien et le chat. • Je dois vider le lave-vaisselle. An ILLUSTRATED cocotte sample: Question: “Quelle tâche ménagère fais-tu chaque matin?” The picture of a bed will prompt answers like, “Je fais mon lit chaque matin.” A short “tâches ménagères” exercise is also included.

When students match the sentence fragments printed on the edges of the triangles, they will reconstitute the 25 Easter facts and “sculpt” the Easter Bunny’s head.

Here are 7 of the 25 Easter facts embedded in this puzzle: • Monks made the first pretzels for Lent. They shaped them like arms crossed in prayer! • A baby rabbit is a “kitten” or a “kit”. • This is a moai: (image) a giant Easter Island sculpture. • The Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny are imaginary characters. • In the movie, HOP, the Easter Bunny’s son wants to leave the family business to drum in a rock band. • North Americans eat 90 million chocolate bunnies every year! • A Ukrainian Easter egg decorated with intricate traditional folk designs is called a “pysanka”.
