Pictionary dry erase board version works great for visual learners

We have had great success using our dry erase board to play pictionary for our Medical Terminology class. The students elected the best artist to do the drawings and then described the condition verbally and the auditory students shouted out the medical terms.

Skeleton Bone Puzzle for Anatomy Class

My A&P group loves play a game we call skeleton puzzle. We have a big box of bones we dump out and then have the students identify the bones and reconstruct the skeleton like a puzzle. It has been an amazing tool to have the students remember the names, shapes, sizes and locations of the bones : )

Making Learning Fun

The school I teach at had the instructors play a Jeopardy like game to quiz us on our school knowledge. I then took the idea into my classroom to utilize it as quiz preperation and review. Student feedback was positive about the fun component helped them be more motivated and involved and helped them to retain the information longer.
