About this resource

Dominoes: Body Parts is an engaging vocabulary game for primary science students to help them learn the names of major external human body parts. Students will match domino tiles featuring labelled diagrams to the corresponding body part terms printed on the adjoining tiles. This self-checking game can be played individually, in pairs, or small groups to reinforce knowledge of body part vocabulary and spelling in a lively, interactive way. Use it as an independent centre activity, partner game, fast finisher task, or even homework. This versatile resource helps boost retention of Year 3 to Year 7 students' knowledge of human anatomy in a hands-on, entertaining format.
