If you teach body systems / anatomy....

have I got the website for you!!

Anatomy Arcade has memory games and other activities for kids dealing with body systems - seven to be exact. Each body system has a wide variety of activities that can be used to review or learn content knowledge about each of the systems. The activities include word searches, crossword puzzles, matching games and jiigsaw puzzles for each of the body systems.

In my freshmen physical education course we cover the basic muscle and bones and what a great way for the students to review and memorize these body systems. I refer to them all the time in class during activities. But, being able to use these games and activities with the students in and out of school will be useful for them to learn and study this material.

Disclaimer: The site is free but the biggest drawback is that it has a lot of ads. The ads help pay for the site so you will see video ads before starting the games. You will also see ads selling specific items all around the web site. I found a few ads that may not be suitable for all students so please check out the website first before using or posting it for student use. You can purchase a site license for the games and this will allow you to download the games without any ads.
