Product description
From the author
Use these two illustrated Guess Who-style boards to review human-body structures and cell organelles. Players choose a hidden structure, ask yes/no questions about its location or function, and remove choices that do not fit.
The download is a PowerPoint file with movable picture and label objects. Give each player a copy and use edit mode to place a choice in the yellow question-mark area and delete eliminated tiles. If using Google Slides, import and check the PowerPoint before class.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify human body organs and systems by name (e.g., skull, brain, heart, lungs, kidneys) through a guessing-game format.
Identify cell organelles by name (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes) through a guessing-game format.
Teaching tips
Give each player a separate copy and use PowerPoint edit mode to move or remove tiles.
Choose either the body-structure board or the organelle board for a round. Place the secret choice in the question-mark area and ask yes/no questions to narrow the options.
Review unfamiliar terms with a class reference before play; the tiles include pictures as well as labels.
Skills covered
Human anatomy vocabulary — students recognize and question about body organs and systems such as the skull, brain, heart, and kidneys.
Cell biology vocabulary — students recognize and question about organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and ribosomes.
Deductive questioning — the guess-who format named in the product itself calls for narrowing down a hidden term through a sequence of yes/no questions.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How can I support students who are unfamiliar with the terms?
Review the vocabulary first and provide a diagram or class reference during play. Model a question about a structure’s location or function.
