"-Ectomy" A game about parts of the brain

SANY0473.JPG

Purpose of activity: To learn (or review) information about the lobes of the brain and what they do.  These lobes are: frontal, temporal, occipital, parietal, sensory and motor cortex.
 
Description:  Each player tries to fill their brain outline with the appropriate lobe parts.  Players win parts by answering multiple choice questions.  This makes a great review activity if you have just studied the brain, but it can also be played without a lot of study ahead of time because of the multiple choice answers.
 
Target age group: grades 8-14
 
Time allowance: 30-45 minutes
 
Materials needed: Photocopies of pattern pages, copied onto card stock (the"base" pages that the pieces sit on can be colored into regular weight paper with a different color for each player)
