The Circulation Game
This practical activity allows children to visualise how Sickle Cell Anaemia can affect blood circulation around the body. Children walk or run around a classroom-sized simulation of the human body, carrying red blood cells away from the heart and blue blood cells back from organs. Once they are circulating smoothly, some children are given sickle cell cards, causing congestion in the system. There is also a diagram of the circulatory system to colour and label.
This resource was produced by Genetic Disorders UK, which provides schools with a host of free resources for increasing awareness and understanding of genetic disorders, and is ideal for using with the video Tamilore’s Story.
