Science TABOO- A twist on the original game.

Science/ SST Camp

8th grade 1011

The procedures:• Students will be divided into groups of four.

• One person- reads the card. They start with the hints at the bottom. They read them one at a time. A point is added for each hint that is used.

• If the team gets to the top of the hints list and the key term is NOT identified, the other team gets to steal the card. (points)

• The winning team either adds or subtracts their points.

• The original card holder will add points to team score. If a card is stolen by the other team, those points will be deducted from their score.

• The winner is the team with the lowest score at the end of the game.

The procedures: (Alternate rules)

• Students will be divided into groups of 4.• Each group of 4 will be divided into partners.• Each pair of partners will take turns trying to get the most

points. – Points

• 3 points for getting key term without use of hint terms.• 2 points for getting key term but team accidently used a hint term.• 1 point for ‘stealing the key term’

• Points are earned by getting your partner to say the key term without using the hints.

• Hints, which cannot be used should help you remember the concept.

• The pair from each group with the most points will win.

The Rules:

• Partners in the group take turns explaining the key term.

• There are two ways to play. Please refer to the rules cards.

The TABOO Card

• The KEY term is bolded, highlighted, and located at the top of the card.

• The hints are smaller, and listed in bullet fashion.
