Taboo

I was playing taboo with my students, we learned about 7 different american superstitions like Friday the 13th, and knock on wood. The goal is for the students to guess what the superstition is without using some key phrases THUS enabling them to tap into their extenisve but little accessed vocabulary resources. Well one student was trying to figure out “fan death”; which is a Korean superstition that states if you leave your fan on while you sleep and your doors and windows are closed you will die. This is the conversation that followed:

Student 1- verb to die?

Student 2- fan!

Wait…what?! Students….

Anyeong!
