Fun card game with Biology symbols (equipment, molecules, organisms, organs, cells . Between two cards there is only ever one symbol that can be found on both cards. Who can find it first? Cards are distributed between players. One card is placed in the middle. Players hold their cards as a pile with the top card showing symbols. The player who can first find the matching symbol between his top card and the card in the middle calls out that symbol and places his top card in the middle. Now the matching symbol of that card with the players’ top cards has to be found. The player who manages to get rid of all his cards first is the winner. A fun activity to practise keywords for all year groups. 57 cards with 8 Symbols each per set (for 3-5 players) with. Square version (easy to cut out)
