My friends,
I'm happy to announce a practice for the second half activity on April 27. We will play the game of “TABOO WORDS.” This is my second cordination to propose the same English game because I have many cards that have left from this same game we enjoyed in April last year.
・Category: English Game
・Feature: Building up Speaking and Listening
・Procedure & Explanation of the game: Refer to the steps from 1 to 12 below.
Guess word: ""Banana"
TABOO WORDS: "Fruit", "Yellow", "Monkey"
1. You will be divided into two groups.
2. Pick one player from the group to be Clue-giver. The role of Clue-giver will alternate with each team's turn, so that everyone gets a chance.
3. If you're a Clue-giver, you must go sit with other team, so that they can keep an eye on you as you give the clues to your teammates.
4. The team that's not giving the clue puts one player in charge of the timer, and all other players in charge of the watchdogs for the “TABOO WORDS”.
5. Clue-giver takes a card from a deck and turn it over so that your teammates can't see the word you're looking at.
6. When you pick up the card, show that card to your opponent team members.
7. When the player in charge of the timer starts counting it down. Clue-giver starts giving the clues to describe the “Guess Word” for your teammates to guess what it is. Time limitation is three (3) minutes.
8. When describing the “Guess word,” you can use a single word or complete sentences to describe the “Guess Word”, but make sure you DON'T say the “TABOO WORDS” on the card.
9. If you say any of the “TABOO WORDS” during the description of the “Guess Word,” you lose the game.
10. Keep describing the “Guess word” until the time of three (3) minutes runs out.
11. You'll get one point if your teammate can correctly guess the “Guess Word” within three (3) minutes.
12. You lose the game when time runs out or when saying any of the “TABOO WORDS.”
I hope you will all enjoy the Englsih Game, “TABOO WORDS."
