I have used "Taboo" many times in my ESL class also and it does 
work wonders.Another good one is "Outburst". " Pictionary" and charades, 
played in teams, are also very good for getting students to call out an 
answer, without worrying about if it is correct or not. When they see 
that everyone else is doing it, they are more likely to take the risk. 
Students learn to trust their intuition.
