Video: How I review medical terminology with fun vocabulary relay races

 

Detailed Walkthrough

 

 

Throughout Nohea’s program they focus heavily on medical terminology. So, she created a Medical Terms Relay Race to make practicing medical terms more fun and engaging.  For this activity each group has a different body system cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and so on. Each group is provided a word or definition and asked to replace that word with the medical term. For example, students would replace heart with cardio because cardio is the medical prefix for heart.  The first team to finish their list wins!

 

Thanks for sharing!  I like the break out room option, and you could also make a copy of the board for each team and they have their own board so no one could see but you as the teacher.  I’ll have to find a way to use this - it’s really engaging!
