Fun Punnett Square Review Game! NO PREP Genetics! Print and Go!
By Science of Curiosity
This is a super fun game for practicing Punnett Squares in your genetics unit! Students use strategy and their knowledge of Punnett Squares to gain the most points and win the game. NO PREP! Print and go! The game board describes three traits of a fictional Alien species, the Doodles! Students work with these three Doodle traits: • Blue skin (B) is dominant to red skin (b) • Two eyes (T) are dominant to one eye (t) • Green hair (G) is dominant to purple hair (g) Punnett Square review game includes: • Game board with instructions on the side • Game board Key • Student score card • Google Slide set with full visual instructions to quickly and easily show students how to play • Teaching Guide Two players take turns going back and forth, each connecting two dots with a line. If a player draws a line that completes a box, that player ‘captures’ the parental cross described inside the box. Students then work out the punnett square on their score sheet and tally up their points based on the four possible offspring in the punnett square. Points are noted on the game board! Students quickly learn that some genetic crosses hold more points than others, which keeps them focused and interacting with content as they consider each move! The activity reinforces key vocabulary: heterozygous, homozygous, hybrid and purebred. Also, students must know that if the phenotype is recessive, the genotype must be homozygous recessive! I usually set a timer, rather than letting them finish out the boa
