About this tool

Taboo is one of the sharpest vocabulary games there is, because it forces students to reach for synonyms, definitions and gestures instead of the one word that would make everything easy. This generator produces a fresh card on demand — a target word plus the handful of obvious words that are off-limits when describing it — so you're never stuck reusing the same deck. Put a student at the front with a card and a timer, and watch how quickly the rest of the class starts shouting guesses. It's a strong five-minute filler for the end of class or a proper review game before a vocabulary test.
