This game has always been really successful for me, with any level or language background.
When I see it happening, I don't give credit for the word. I try to sit the playing team members so that the guesser can't see them easily. NOTE: The guesser often looks to the non-participating team members to see if they are mouthing the words. The team with the most points wins! Only the two team members sitting in the front of the room can speak. Give one point for each word correctly guessed. They can use any words they want, in the target language, as long as NO PART of the word to be guessed it used. Once you remove your hand, give the team 1 minute to get as many out of the 5 words as possible. Give students 3 categories to choose from. Student B sits in the chair facing the OHP and student A sits with his/her back to the OHP. One student (Student A) will be the guesser and the other (student B) the clue giver. Two students from one team play at a time. Place two chairs facing each other, with one facing the overhead and the other with its back to the overhead. I don't think that having the name on the OHP will help or hinder students. Sometimes it takes me a sec to remember what the category is. I didn't inclde the name of the category on the list, but you may want to. Then I printed out the groups on transperencies and cut them out. To make things easier and reusable, I made a chart on my computer, grouping each category with its words. You can choose whatever you think will be most appopriate and useful for your students. I like to have about 20 categories each time I play. I have used words that start with W (window, wow, weird, Wyoming, witch), things you can't see (love, air, kindness, stupidity, friendship), things that you listen to (news reports, speech, whistle, teachers, parents). To prepare, create a list of categories for which you can come up with 5 examples. You will need an OHP and transperencies to play this game. This is modeled after the old game show from when I was a kid.
This is for those who love to play Taboo.
