Description
This is a fun way to introduce (or review) conception and the functions of the reproductive systems. This resource includes a bingo card, instructions on how to play, modifications, and definitions for all words used on the bingo card. Simply print enough cards for your class and play!
How to play:
1. Each participant will have a conception bingo card and something to mark their card - if you plan on using the card more than once, have participants mark them with something that isn't permanent (ex. slips of paper).
2. Read the description of a word that has to do with conception, and have students mark the word that they believe was described - no talking, or looking at other people's cards.
3. When someone thinks that they have a bingo - call it out.
4. Confirm their bingo and review the words and their description/function, so that everyone understands what it is/where it is/what it does.
5. Play again using words that weren't used in the first round, or if you are only playing one round of the game, you may want to review all conception related words at this time.
Modifications:
One line (5 in a row) can make for a quick game, so you may want to require two or more rows for a bingo.
If you want to challenge your participants, don't read the most obvious parts of the description.
Every player has the same card, so you will know how close they are to a legit bingo. If you want to prolong the game or cover a lot of terms in one game, get it close on many lines, but not complete.
If you want to make it more challenging, you can also make up fake descriptions to see if you can trick some people. You can tell them this at the start (or not).
Feel free to use your own descriptions for each word, or use the descriptions provided.
As a certified sexual health educator, I understand the importance of scientific, age-appropriate, and inclusive sexual health education.
In British Columbia, understanding the reproductive system is a learning standard in grade 6. This resource could also be used as a refresher/introductory activity for grades 7-10.
