US Grade 5 - 7
Welcome to Quick-Play Taboo: Boost Your Language Skills, an engaging 45-minute online class designed for learners aged 10-13 with a passion for words and a zest for quick-thinking challenges. This interactive session will test and enhance your vocabulary and communication skills through the exciting game of Taboo.

In this class, we'll be diving straight into the digital version of the popular word game, Taboo. Your mission is to make your teammates guess a secret word without using the most common clues. This game requires fast thinking, creative communication, and a good grasp of vocabulary - and that's where the fun lies!

The structure of our class is simple. 
5-10 minutes: watch the rules and try a practice. 
10-30 minutes: Team play: 2-3 Rounds
30-45 Minutes: Solo players (Beat our best scores!) 

As a creative writing mentor, I preach play as one of the most effective tools to better creativity, vocabulary and writing. My teaching style is interactive and learner-centered, and I believe that you learn best when actively participating and enjoying the process. Most of our class time will be devoted to playing Taboo. I will be there to guide you throughout, providing tips and tricks to improve your gameplay and language skills.

Interaction is at the heart of this class. The game requires constant communication between team members, and I'll be there to moderate and facilitate these interactions to ensure a respectful and supportive environment.

No previous experience or knowledge is necessary to join this class - just bring your love for words and a willingness to challenge yourself! So, are you ready to boost your language skills in the most fun way possible? Sign up for Quick-Play Taboo: Boost Your Language Skills today!

Learning Goals

Taboo puts your language skills to the test. The aim is to make your teammate guess a word without using the most common clues. Can you describe an elephant without mentioning 'trunk,' 'tusks,' or 'large'? This class will enhance your ability to express ideas creatively, think quickly under pressure, and broaden your vocabulary in an enjoyable, interactive setting.

Work in a team, or try a solo game on your own! Either way, you'll be encouraged to push your language skills to the limit. Here's what you'll learn:

To strengthen quick-thinking and decision-making abilities.
To improve verbal communication through a challenging game.
To boost vocabulary and understanding of the English language.
This session isn't just about winning the game. It's about fostering a love for language and communication in a supportive, exciting environment. Join us for 45 minutes of linguistic fun, and take your language skills to the next level!
