Instructional Ideas

  • If you don't have the space for a full game, have kids move the necessary cards between stations that you set up in your classroom
  • Good for a health class or anatomy lesson
  • Copy the waste and nutrients cards in different colors so kids can identify them more easily

Classroom Considerations

  • Game is a little complicated for 5th and 6th graders; consider simplifying the directions for younger learners, or using the game in a middle school or high school classroom
  • Plan on using an entire class period to explain, perform, and assess the activity

Pros

  • Comes with great instructions and all necessary materials for the activity

Cons

  • None
