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)
