It is a fantastic tool for breaking the language barrier, encouraging children to actively use synonyms and build descriptive sentences.
The player must explain the animal shown at the top of the card to the class or their team. The main challenge is that they cannot use the taboo words listed right below it! For example, when explaining a panda, you cannot say: bamboo, China, black, bear, cute.
What skills do we practice?
- Spontaneous speaking skills: Students learn to bypass difficult words and explain concepts through definitions ("This animal lives in the forest and likes to eat green grass ...").
- Vocabulary: Topic-related associations, habitats, body parts, and animal habits.
- Grammar: Descriptive structures like "It is an animal which ...", "It lives in ...", and "It can ...".

This die is a fantastic tool for mixing up classroom interaction. It breaks the traditional "teacher asks, student answers" routine, getting students to constantly engage with one another instead.
Here are a few ways to use it:
- Question Roulette: The teacher puts a list of 5–10 topic-related questions on the board (e.g., Past Simple, Travel, Work). A student picks a question, rolls the die, and the arrow or text shows who they need to ask.
- Endless Story Chain: The class builds a story together. The first student starts with an opening line (like, "Yesterday I saw a strange green light in the sky..."). They then roll the die to see who has to carry the story on.

Idea for the first lesson in September: Summer Bingo (Theme: Summer Holidays / Past Simple)
It’s the perfect way to ease students back into learning, break the ice, and review the past tense without any pressure.
Game Variant (instead of the classic version): Speaking Bingo.
Students move around the classroom, asking each other questions in the Past Simple.
For example: "Did you watch the sunrise?" or "Did you eat ice cream for breakfast?". If a classmate answers "Yes, I did," the student writes their name in that box. The first person to get a line of 5 names horizontally or vertically shouts "Bingo!" and wins.
Why this game works so well:
- Real communication: Instead of a boring "How I spent my summer" presentation, kids actually get to interact and talk to each other.
- Group bonding: Kids discover fun facts about their classmates (like who fell off their bike or who actually missed school!).
