Task 6: Body axes charades – Run by your TA
To practice using the correct terminology when referring to different locations on the
body, you will play a game of charades. Your TA will divide the whole class into two groups.
One student from the first group will go up and pick a card at random. The student will
have 1 minute to describe the word to his/her group, using ONLY the anatomical terms on
Table 6.5. Note that you cannot use words that describe the function of the organ/body part. For
example, if the organ to be described is the heart, you are not allowed to say that it pumps blood.
Instead, you can say that it is inferior to the head and it is superior to the belly button. If his/her
group can guess the right answer, then that team gets a point but if they don’t guess correctly,
then the opposite team gets the point. Make sure to alternate the order of the teams guessing.
Each person in each group should take a turn. Make sure not to point at any of your body parts!
Have fun and be good sports!
