Forbidden words cards generator
Describe the big word on the card so your team guesses it — without saying it, and without using any of the four words listed underneath. Print a deck of cut-out cards, add your own, and play in teams.

How to play
Cut the cards out and stack them face down. Split into two teams.
One player describes the big word to their team; the four words under it are off limits, and so is the word itself.
A point for every word the team guesses in a minute. The other team watches for a banned word — say one and the card is lost.
