Overview

Learn about the body's systems with this drag and drop game. Choose organs from the organ tray, and place them in their correct position within the body to create organ systems.

Build-A-Body is a drag and drop game where players are tasked with assembling an organ system from a set of organs. Players may then attempt case studies where a functional problem with a system must be linked to the organ affected.

How to play Build-a-Body

Choose organs from the organ tray, drag and drop them in their correct position within the body to build each system. Complete all systems and then assemble them into a complete body.

Teaching with Build-a-Body

Build-a-body is an awesome tool to introduce and teach concepts of human anatomy and human physiology.

Early Childhood Education with Build-a-Body

Where does my food go? What do my bones look like? How does my heart work? Young children's fascination about themselves will propel them through Spongelab's Build-A-Body as they explore the different systems. Like a jigsaw puzzle, they can drag-and-drop anatomical pieces into the body and see what the parts actually look like and how they fit together. Parents and caregivers can quickly reference the notes on the side as their natural curiosity leads to more complex questions of how it all works. Intuitively, they will start to relate the picture on the screen to their own anatomy, feeling their heartbeat, the contours of their bones and the rise and fall of their chests.
