As I am reviewing content for students to undertake in their study this year at work, I am also discovering many new resources! Different horse websites; free horse related downloads; even different horse careers that I hadn’t heard of! I’m in heaven 🙂 A recent discovery was purpose games and horses.
If you head along to the Purpose Games website and do a search on horses, you’ll find some pretty incredible horse related games! And they’re free! What I love about these is that they’re also educational.
Want to learn about the skeletal structure of the horse? Well with purpose games and horses as your focus term, you can find such an activity! Check it out at Horse Skeletal Anatomy. You’re shown the skeleton of the horse and asked to identify different skeletal structures (e.g. atlas, axis, scapular, lumbar vertebrae, etc.).
As you determine where you think the bones are, you click on its associated dot point to identify it. If you’re right, it turns green. If not, it turns another colour, but you can keep guessing! You get timed to see how long it takes you to identify them all and you’re given a score. If you sign up for a (free) account with purpose games, then you can even rate the game and be listed on the scoreboard – if you’re good enough!
These horse games are fun, but they’re also educational. Why not check them out? They can get addictive, so be sure you have some time to spare! And if you’re like me, maybe you’d like to look into how you can set up your own game for others to learn from and also enjoy. I’m sure I’ll be sharing a future post about a horse related game/resource that I have created at Purpose Games ;).
