Blood Typing Game
Give the three patients the right type of blood or you will endanger their lives. Look at “Blood Groups, Blood Typing and Blood Transfusions” here and the disclaimer here to better understand the different blood types. Then you are ready to play the quick game in which you pick up the needle, use it to draw blood out of the patient’s elbow area, state what type of blood the patient has, drop the needle over the three test tubes to see the blood typing results, and then drag blood bags to the pole to give the patient blood. There is also a mission-based game. The old version of the game is available here.
