Easy ESL Game: Hot Seat
Hot Seat is a game that's similar to taboo and can be played as a whole class or in teams.

Materials
Whiteboard
A chair facing away from the whiteboard (1 per group) with the rest of the group facing the whiteboard and gathered near the student who is guessing

Instructions
The teacher writes up a word, phrase, or entire sentence (modify based on your students' level) and says "go."

Students facing the whiteboard try to explain the word, phrase, or sentence to their teammate facing away from the board WITHOUT saying any of the words on the board. Once the student believes they have the answer, they did not raise their hand and check with the teacher.

Award one point to the first team to guess correctly and swap seats so a new student guessed for each group.
