Using these six words you are going to play a round of taboo. I will be the class time keeper and you will have 2 minutes to get your partner to guess your word.

However, in order to get the other person to guess your word, you are NOT allowed to use any words from the definition.

For exampleIf my word was Oblivious I have to try and get my partner to guess the word without saying forgetful or unaware. However, I could say, “I didn’t even realize we had a meeting today. I was completely this.”

Your partner has to use the context clues from what you are saying in order to guess the word.

Everyone understand?
