PLAYERS

1. SET IT UP

1

SPLIT INTO 2 TEAMS

Sit like this so you can keep an eye on each other.

2

SORT YOUR CARDS

• Choose which color words to play this game (then use a different color next game to keep it fresh).

• Check all cards are facing the same way.

• Put a handful on the table with your chosen color facing down.

(You will flip the top card to play).

2. AIM

Get your team to say the Guess word at the top of the card.

But don’t use any of the Taboo words in your description...Or the other team will squeak you!

Guess word

The word you want your team to say.

5 Taboo words

The words you can’t say.

EXAMPLE:

“WHA

T YOU SA

Y

TO GET

A

PONY

TO HURR

Y...”

3. PLAY

One team guesses while the other team turns the timer and holds the squeaker.

ON YOUR TEAM’S TURN TO GUESS

1

Choose one player on your team to be the describer.

Give them the stack of cards.

2 The other team chooses someone to hold the squeaker and start the timer.

• That person peers over the describer’s shoulder to see the cards – if the describer uses any Taboo words, they squeak ‘em!

3 When the timer starts, your team’s describer immediately:

• Flips the top card.

• Describes the top word on the color you’ve chosen to play without saying the Taboo words!

• Puts any cards that get squeaked to one side.

• Keeps flipping cards and describing new words for your team to guess.

4 When the timer runs out, your team’s turn is over.

• for each card you guessed successfully.

• to the other team for each card that you skipped or got squeaked.

5 Then it’s the other team’s turn.

+

WHEN TO SQUEAK!

Squeak when the describer breaks any of these rules!

• Don’t say any part of any word on the card!

(e.g. you can’t say ‘space’ or ‘ship’ because the word is ‘spaceship’)

• Don’t use sneaky plurals! (e.g. you can’t say ‘feet’ for ‘foot’)

• Don’t gesture!

• Don’t make noises or use sound effects!

• Don’t say ‘sounds like’ – that’s too easy!

• Don’t use abbreviations! (e.g. don’t say ‘TV’ for ‘television’)

• But do sing if you feel the urge!

• Do have fun!
