New Horizon 1 (Units 7-11) Taboo Words

Materials for the word game 'Taboo' using New Horizon 1, Units 7 through 11.

This resource is designed for reviewing vocabulary from the last five units of the New Horizon 1 textbook, including the "Let's ~" and "Grammar for Communication" pages.

The word game 'Taboo' involves describing a word without using it.

Students sit in groups of four to six. The role of "guesser" rotates each turn (though, the students can help their friends). When a student has successfully guessed a word you described, you can put a check mark in the check column to keep track. You might also record their group number. At the end, give a small reward to the team that made the most correct guesses.

    Why are there 2 columns for check?

    In case you want to use the sheet twice.

    "You might also record their group number," to keep track of the team that makes the most correct guesses.
