Describe the Word

This is based on the game Taboo and Balderdash. The worksheet gives a long list of words that can be used in this game. Place the words in a bag/hat/box. Students get into pairs and have a minute to try and get their partner to correctly guess as many words as possible. Once the minute is up, count up how many words they got correct and pass the bag to the next student (without putting the correctly guessed words back in). This continues till all the words are guessed. To make it harder, for the next round students can only say 3 words, then in the round after 1. A final round could just use actions. A mix of nouns, verbs, cultural references.
