ORGANIZATION OF A HUMAN BODY

About the game

This is a biology game that teaches students to understand levels of organization in the human body.

Gameplay

Players should divide into pairs and draw 5 game cards from the draw pile. Game task is to

complete your pair’s mission or a common mission, sequentially placing game cards in line

forming one of 4 levels of organization examples (heart, liver, stomach, lung). The excitement

in this game is that the player must hold his cards so that the others can see, but not the player

himself. The player can only act on his team member’s recommendations. Unexpected things in

this game create bonus cards and penalties for the player’s mistakes (if the card is put on the

wrong place). The winner is the pair that completes the mission first.
