As part of the senior events for this school year, senior crew will host “Tiger Taboo” through next Friday.

“People like Wordle and the other New York Times games,” student body president Makaria Walker said. “Why wouldn’t they want to play?”

Taboo is a game where players try to avoid saying certain words. For Tiger Taboo, students will be given two clothespins to represent a point each. If a player says one of the posted words, they have to give a point to whoever catches them saying it. For students, the forbidden words change daily.

“I’m planning to engage in conversations and get them to say the taboo word while avoiding saying it myself,” senior Jacky Dao said. “I may just start speaking another language.”

Teachers are also allowed to participate in Tiger Taboo. Each teacher only gets one clip worth three points. The word list for teachers is different and does not change.

“I hope some competition’s there,” AP Environmental Science teacher LeAnn LaFollette said. “I’m going to do my best and that’s all I can hope for because I use those words every day many times.”

Tiger Taboo replaces the Tiger Tag games held the previous two years. The senior crew cites the heavy safety concerns both years for the change.

“Tiger Tag seemed fun and was enjoyable to see the seniors I knew play,” Dao said. “It’s sad to know that we can’t play it when I finally got to my own senior year.”

The student who earns the most points will win a Chick-fil-A platter at the end of the week. If there’s a tie, the winning students must share the prize.

“I feel it’s really important for us to do things outside of our comfort zone, especially since we’re all going to college soon,” student body historian Hayley Long said. “We get to meet other people in our class that we might have never heard of or seen in our lives.
