Taboo cards1
Cut out these cards and let your students play taboo. Split your class in two groups, the first student of group A has to describe the word on the card - he/she is neither allowed to talk any word in her mother tongue nor to say one of the words below the pictures. If a group guesses the word in about 30 seconds, they´ll get a point. Play it in turns with one student of group A and then one student of group B. The best group will win ;-) (Because of the file size I had to upload 3 parts-sorry, but you don´t need to have all 48 cards to start playing)

Thank you all!!!         posted by Gönni
I´m a new member here on this website - just uploaded the taboo cards and got really overwhelmed by all your polite and friendly comments on these cards. Really a nice community and I hope to let you share some other ws/activities/miscellaneous. In my opinion it´s the best way to teach our students English to get them talking, motivated and active during our lessons. The best lesson I´ve ever taught was, when my students left the class room still talking in English ;-). And I made the experience that they do this when they are motivated enough to talk in English to each other during our lessons... Hopefully I will have several other ideas to share them with you. Thanks a lot INDEED for all your comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
