NEW HEALTH PACKAGE • The Doctor

On the panel, you can see different situations in which someone has a wound or symptoms of a certain disease. When these symptoms appear, it is recommended to contact a doctor.

The situations are the following (starting in the top left corner of the panel, going clockwise):

1. Dog bite
2. Itchy neck
3. Fever
4. Gunshot wound
5. Sunburn or heatstroke
6. Itchy genital region
7. Diarrhea
8. Toothache
9. Dislocated shoulder after cycle accident
10. Vomiting
11. Cut wound
12. Lifeless, tired, depression, burn-out
13. Stomach ache (abdominal pain)
14. Coughing and sneezing

• Symptoms and diseases: Ask the players to identify the things they see in the panel and ask if they ever had the same symptoms/diseases.
• Theatre: Ask the players to perform a theatre show on health care. They can, for example, perform one of the situations depicted on the panel, so the others can guess which situation was performed. You can also ask one player to pretend to be sick and to tell the other's how he got sick and what he's feeling. The others then take on the role of the nurse, doctor,... and give advice. Discuss the situations afterwards.
• Blind man's buff: Ask a player to memorise the situations on the panel. Then blindfold him. Describe one of the situations. The player now has to try and point at that particular situation on the panel. When he is pointing at the panel, take off the blindfold, so the player can check if he was correct.
• Memory: Challenge a player to memorise as many situations as possible in 10 seconds. When the 10 seconds are up, ask the player to turn around and name as many situations as possible. You can turn this into a competition between two (groups of) players as well.
• Word search: Create a word search puzzle with words related to diseases, health, specialists,...
• Specialists: If you want the players to learn the terminology of medical specialists, you can name a specialist and ask them to point at the part of their body they think that person specialises in. E.g.: "gastro-enterologist" -> the players can point at their stomach.
• Emotions: Combine the panel with one of the panels on emotions and ask questions like: How does the person feel about the situation? How would you feel? The players try to link each image to a specific emotion.
