Game Rules

Game Set Up​​​

​​

• Each card has three parts:
   

  • ⁠The right part asks the question
    "Who has...?" referring to a different biology term (e.g., "Who

  • ⁠has the cell organelle that synthesises proteins?").
    The bottom has diagrams that feature the specific biological terms highlighted in the same

  • ⁠colour as the question and answer respectively.
     

• Shuffle the cards well and divide all the cards evenly among the players.
   

• Each player should have nearly the same number of cards

​​​​

​

How to Play?​

​

• Decide which player goes first.
   

• ⁠Player A chooses any one card from their hand and begins the game by reading, "Who Has Me?" and the question on their card.
  Example: "Who has me? I'm the
  'Powerhouse of the Cell'"
   

• The player with the correct biological term will call out "I Have" and give the answer (in this case, the card that says "I have the Mitochondria"). They then ask the next question on their card.
   

• Once a question and the answer on a card are matched, the card is dropped in the centre.
   

• ⁠If a player does not receive an answer, the player can offer two hints for that card, like the description of shape and colour to help other players find the corresponding answer card.
   

• If there is still no answer, the card cannot be dropped. The player on their right starts a new round.
   

• The game continues until all the cards have been played and the players successfully connect all the questions and answers.
   

• OVERLAPPING ANSWERS:
  
  There may be overlapping answers, which means that some biology terms may appear in both the "I have.." and "Who has...?" portions of different cards, but no two cards will have the exact same question-answer pair.
  
  EXAMPLE OF OVERLAPPING ANSWERS:
  
  Card 1: "I have Mitochondria. Who has me? I'm known as the"Cell Recycler".
  Card 2: "I have the Chloroplast. Who has me? I'm the power house of the cell, producing ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) for energy."
  Card 3: "I have Mitochondria. Who has me? I'm a network of membranes involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism in a cell."
   

• This overlap keeps everyone engaged as the same terms might come up in different contexts, and players need to recall multiple facts about the same term.

Learning​

​​​

• The objective is to enjoy the game while learning about plant and animal cells.
   

• The game is designed to help reinforce important academic concepts while promoting critical thinking and collaboration skills.
   

• The players learn the different parts of a cell and their functions as they match the cards.
   

• The game cards have a visual representation of the cell parts to remember them easily and as a visual aid to play. Let's have fun while we learn!​​

Game Goal

 

The game may be played until one of the players runs out of cards, he/she will be declared the winner! The game is won by the player who has played all the cards.
