It is a fantastic tool for breaking the language barrier, encouraging children to actively use synonyms and build descriptive sentences.
The player must explain the animal shown at the top of the card to the class or their team. The main challenge is that they cannot use the taboo words listed right below it! For example, when explaining a panda, you cannot say: bamboo, China, black, bear, cute.
What skills do we practice?
- Spontaneous speaking skills: Students learn to bypass difficult words and explain concepts through definitions ("This animal lives in the forest and likes to eat green grass ...").
- Vocabulary: Topic-related associations, habitats, body parts, and animal habits.
- Grammar: Descriptive structures like "It is an animal which ...", "It lives in ...", and "It can ...".
