Build A Body Game- Digital Download

Build a body from the inside out with this hands-on Human Body Systems board game! Players race along the path, adding organs, bones, and body parts as they go. Every game builds a different body, so no two rounds look the same. Perfect for families, homeschoolers, educators, and curious kids, this game is a fun way to learn the systems, organs, and tissues that work together inside the human body.

This game covers ten body systems and structures: skeletal, muscular, circulatory, nervous, respiratory, digestive, excretory, lymphatic, the five senses, and body tissues. Kids pick up real anatomy along the way. For example, they learn why the left lung is smaller than the right, where red blood cells are made, what the liver does all day, and which bone is the smallest in the whole body.

How to Play:

• Roll a die and move along the path, reading a fun fact or doing a quick activity on every space.
• Land on Draw a Body Card and add an organ, a bone, or a body part right onto the board!
• Watch out for Body Mix-Up, Something's Missing, and Anatomy Oops spaces that take a part back off!
• Stop at the STOP spaces to add the face, check your body, and fill in what is missing.
• Be the first to reach FINISH, then dress your body to win!

What's Included:

• Beautifully designed game board in two sizes: a 15 x 20 inch board you can print at a copy shop, or four 8.5 x 11 pages you print at home and tape together (the home version has a few seams where the pages meet)
  
• 45 Body Cards, each with a body part, a fun fact, and a quick activity, color coded by body system so kids can see how the parts fit together
• All the body parts you need to build inside: skull, ribs (with sternum and vertebrae), heart, lungs, liver, intestines, spleen, thymus, thyroid, and pancreas
• Face pieces: heads to choose from, eyes, a nose, and three mouths
• A blank body to place over the finished organs, plus a complete outfit
• THREE skin tone options (light, medium, and darker), each with boy and girl heads and clothing, so you can print the version that looks like your family
• Full instruction pages with SIX different ways to play, including a gentler version for the youngest players, a quiz mode for older kids, and a solo option

This game is PERFECT for learning about and reviewing the human body!

*Die not included. I recommend using a die from another board game that you own.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What ages is this game best for?
  • It works well for kids in Foundations (ages 4 to 12). Younger players can use the Gentle Build option, which skips the trickier spaces, while older kids can use the quiz and review modes included in the instructions. Parents and older siblings usually get pulled in too!
• Do all the players build the same body?
  • Yes! Everyone works together to build one body right on the game board while racing to be the first to reach FINISH. It keeps siblings cooperating instead of competing over pieces. If your kids would rather each build their own, just print a second set.
• Will we build the whole body every game?
  • Not always, and that is part of the fun! The parts you collect depend on your rolls and the cards you draw, so every game builds a different body. Play again and see how much more you can build next time!
• Which skin tone do I get?
  • All three! The download includes complete light, medium, and darker versions, each with boy and girl head and clothing options. Print whichever one you'd like, or print several.
• How do I print and assemble the game?
  • The PDF includes easy-to-follow instructions. The game board comes in two options: print four 8.5 x 11 pages at home on regular paper or cardstock and tape them together, or print the 15 x 20 inch board at a place like FedEx or Office Depot. Then cut out the Body Cards and body parts, and grab a die and a game piece for each player.
• Which game board size should I print?
  • Either one works! The 15 x 20 inch board prints as a single piece at a place like FedEx or Office Depot and looks the most polished. The four-page version prints at home on regular paper or cardstock, and you tape the pages together. You will see a few seams where the pages meet, but the game plays exactly the same.
• Can I laminate the pieces for durability?
  • Absolutely! The body parts get handled a lot, so laminating them is a great way to keep the game sturdy for repeated use. A reusable adhesive dot on the back of each piece keeps them from sliding around.
• Do I need anything extra to play?
  • Just a die and a game piece for each player, plus scissors for cutting, and maybe a folder or box to keep everything organized.
• Is this a physical product?
  • No, this is a digital download. You will receive a PDF you can print at home. No physical product will be shipped.
