The human body contains a lot of bones. The Human Skeleton: Playing Cards kit contains a full deck of 52 cards, plus two jokers that act as quick, at-a-glance indexes for the cards. Each card is in full colour and contains a close-up image of the bone’s location as well as a more general location (head, foot, etc). These cards would be an excellent visual aid for teaching students about the human skeleton through play instead of simply pointing at a diagram. Students can play card games such as Go Fish or Crazy Eights and learn about the skeleton as they go. The cards could also be used as flash cards before a quiz.

This activity kit is recommended for students in Grade 5 and up as the cards do go into significant detail.
