Task 6: Body axes charades – Run by the TA
To practice using the proper terminology to refer to different locations on the body, we
will play a game of charades. Your TA will divide the whole class into two groups. Each group
will be given a list of organs/ body parts. These lists will be different. Make sure not to share
your list with members from the other group.
Your group will choose a student from another group to describe one of the words on
your list to his/her group. The student will have 2 minutes to describe the word, using only the
words from the bilateral body axes (see table above). You cannot use words that describe the
function of the organs. For example, if the organ to be described is the heart, then you cannot say
that it pumps blood, but you can say that this organ is posterior to the head. If his/her group can
guess the right organ /body part, his/her team gets a point but if they don’t guess correctly, then
your team gets the point. Make sure to alternate the order of the teams guessing.
