Bone Naming Games

When I put this poster and Halloween decoration on the wall side by side I did it because I was hoping to spark some interest in the skeletal system. So far the boys have enjoyed rearranging the skeleton but have asked no questions and expressed no interest in learning more.
So today I introduced this online bone naming game and this online bone matching game and they loved them (especially the matching). We'll see if learning the names of the bones inspires a bit more curiosity about their function, what they're made of, etc. and if not we'll do something else for a while.
Hope you're having a great day,

  1. We haave educational posters, including the different systems, all over the basement. I just leave them up. Every once in a while one of the kids will come to me about something they just noticed down there and which clicked because they had read something elsewhere related. I am thinking of putting more similar posters up in the upstairs hall and in our bathroom,espcially now that the youngest is reading.

    It is surprising what will spark an interest, even after being up for years. :)
