The game that I chose is called The Blood Typing Game. In this game you draw the blood from patients and then try to figure out what blood type they have by putting the blood into three different test-tubes all containing different solutions. Then, once you've figured our what blood type they are, you hook up the blood bags that correspond with the patients blood type to the patient and give them a blood transfusion until they are 100 percent better.
I liked this game a lot. Going into the game I knew next to nothing about blood types, but after playing it for a couple minutes I caught on and I actually learned from the game! I think that this game would be useful in the classroom because you get to be the "doctor" and use a syringe and draw people blood and figure out what type of blood type they have which is challenging for people who don't know anything about blood types, like me. Also, there are different levels, a mission based game and a quick game (I played the quick game) so that students who learn at different speed or those who want a challenge can all participate and enjoy playing the game. Another perk is that there are points and high scores which will challenge kids to compete and beat their friends. Also, after I had won the game and went to the main menu, there were tabs that I could click on to read more about blood typing and blood transfusions. Additionally, for those who do not like the sight of blood, the blood in the game did not look real and the patients did not look real either. Overall I really liked this game because I learned from it and it was fun so I think that biology or anatomy students could learn from it too.
