Examples of board games to adapt:

Monopoly (each side of board represents a different system – each “property” is a

different organ; correctly answer questions on organs to buy)
Candy land ( board game could have different organs – cards have functions or
descriptions of organs)
Snakes and Ladders (arteries and veins – arteries go up, veins go down)
