What is the Printable Camping Taboo Game?

The Printable Camping Taboo Game is a set of cards you can print at home and take with you on the go for the best time. Each card has a word related to camping and a list of “taboo” words that players must avoid using when giving clues. The goal  of the game is for your team to guess the main word without you saying any of the forbidden words. It’s a game of creativity, quick thinking, and laughter.

How to Play Taboo

Playing Camping Taboo is straightforward. Here’s a quick guide:

  1. Divide into Teams: Split your group into two teams.
  2. Pick a Card: One player from a team picks a card and tries to get their team to guess the word at the top without using any of the words listed below it.
  3. Give Clues: The player gives verbal clues, but they must avoid the “taboo” words. If they say one of these forbidden words, a member of the other team buzzes (or points out in a way designated by the players) them.
  4. Guess the Word: The team has a limited amount of time (usually 60 seconds use your phone to set the timer or bring along any other time you have) to guess as many words as possible.
  5. Switch Teams: After the time is up, the other team takes a turn.

The team with the most correct guesses wins the game. Simple rules, but endless fun! If you want set a designated correct guesses to be the winner of this favorite game.
