My Take
This is a helpful additional tool for a hand on activity for students to practice what they learn about blood types and blood transfusion. I highly recommend it for both small group and individual use.
How I Use It
I use this tool, and also the website version in my High School Biology class, and my college Physiology class when teaching students about Blood Types. It is a fun way for them to administer the correct and incorrect blood transfusions to a patient and learn from their experience, how and why a patient with A+ blood cannot receive blood form a B- donor. It is fun, but does require a quick teacher led introduction into the topics first.

This is a great game, not only is it fun, but very practical blood typing can get complicated with this game not only does it clear up the confusion but its pretty fun to play with.
This is a great teaching tool, I enjoyed it as a learning tool as a student and I am sure my students will benefit just as much as I did in during my undergrad. Biological concepts can get complex and difficult to understand.I believe the key to learning something that is new and difficult is repetition, this game does just that. Allows repetition so that the student can better understand the importance of proper blood typing.

Great interactive game for getting the basics of blood typing
This is a great introduction to blood typing. It is simple to use and students quickly figure out how to conduct the blood typing activities. I found it very useful for reinforcing concepts I'd just taught about blood typing. The animations, while very basic, served their purpose to reinforce correct answers or communicate incorrect answers. On top of that my students enjoyed playing the game and it got them more interested in the activities I had planned.

A great way to reinforce the different blood types and provide a real-world tie.
I was looking for a way to help students better understand how the blood types play a role in medicine so that they could better grasp the different blood types and if they are compatible. This game was an excellent way for them to learn and expand their knowledge of blood types and also provided a real world tie that gets them engaged and motivated.
