Description

What's the Game?

You’ll have so much fun shouting and taking cards from the other players while making matches, you won’t even notice your growing knowledge of human skeletal anatomy.

Who's It For?

The Bone Game is a fast, fun game with an educational bent – ideal for families with school-age children and for teachers with students learning about the human skeleton.

  • Number of Players: 2-4
  • Time Requirements: 5-10 min

How Does It Work?

The Bone Game was designed by our daughter to help other kids learn the names of the major bones in the human body. It’s a face-paced card-matching game that definitely encourages shouting and taking – all in good fun, but with a point too! ;)

Matches are made by properly pairing Picture Only Cards (cards that show an unlabeled single bone) with Bone Name Cards (cards that show a group of bones titled with the name of just one of those bones).

  • This type of matching helps you learn to pick out each bone from a crowd by both name and picture.
  • The taking helps you learn to recognize quickly which bones other players are holding.
  • And the shouting helps you better remember the bone names for the next game!
