• The maximum number of players is 4.
• Place your piece on the square that says start.
• Roll the dice.
• Answer the questions located in each slide in the prezi. The answers will be on the back of the board, and if you get the question right, move your piece forward the number you rolled on the dice.
• If you, come to a 2-way turn square, roll the dice. Even numbers go right, odd numbers go left.
• If you land on a colorfully decorated square, follow the directions told. The first one to reach start/finish is the winner.
• Beware! If you are close within rolling range of the finish, make sure you roll the exact number that makes you land on Finish, or else move back the number of spaces that you rolled. Find your way through the circulatory system!

You have flowed into the right ventricle.

1. What is the valve that allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle?

2. What vessel does the blood go into after leaving the right ventricle?

3. What are the purpose of valves?

4. How many valves are located in your heart?

You have come out of the capillary and speeding back to the heart in a vein.

1. Where are blood cells made?

2. About how many red blood cells are in one drop of blood?

3. True or False: If you stretched out your blood vessels, it would circle the earth's equator twice.

4. How many platelets are in one drop of blood?

You are in passing through the pulmonary valve.

1. What is the most common blood vessel?

2. What blood vessel takes blood away from the heart?

3. What blood vessel delivers blood to the heart?

4. What blood vessel branches off of blood vessels?

You are nearing the heart... you can see the Superior Vena Cava!

1. What 2 things do red blood cells carry?

2. What is the job for a white blood cell?

3. After platelets block a cut, what happens?

4. Where is plasma made?

Start! You are in the Right Atrium...

Congratulations! You have successfully circulated through the circulatory system!

You have entered the Superior Vena Cava!

Roll the dice. To move forward, answer this question. Player one answers number one, and vice versa.

1. What are three main parts of the circulatory system?

2. What are the 4 chambers of the heart?

3. What vessel transports the blood into the right atrium?

4. What is the largest blood vessel in the heart?

Once you answer the question, go to the answer sheet and compare your own answer to the actual answer, if you get all of the answers correct (in this case, three questions), move forward the number of spaces you rolled. If you get the majority correct, move half the spaces you rolled. If you happen to roll on an odd number, round up (unless you rolled a one. If you get a one, don't move forward). Then, the next player goes.

4. True or False: Arteries have thick elastic walls to with stand the high blood pressure.

Now, you should understand:

• The blood vessels efficiently deliver blood everywhere around the heart.

• Blood has many portions inside of it.
• The types of blood cells.
• Your heart is indeed a muscle.
