Define and Shine Word Game BackgroundThis game is very adaptable. It can be used to cover a huge variety of topics. It is ideal as a warm up game or when you need to liven the students up.
ObjectivesBy the end of the game the students will: be alert and ready to learn together be able to explain a variety of medical conditions to lay people using
simple jargon free language be aware of (and have shown you) the gaps in their knowledge that
need to be addressed
Resources requiredTwo or three copies of terms as below (cut up into individual terms)SellotapeWhiteboard/ flipchart and pens to use in explanations at the endFacilitator8- 15 students (more copies of words needed if more students present)20 - 30 minutes
Outline of sessionPrepare by cutting up approximately ten times more pieces of sellotape than you have students. Stick one end on to the edge of a plastic topped table to allow for easy removal.
Explain the game to the students: Each student will have a term stuck on their back with sellotape. The aim for each student is to find out what the term on their back is. They must ask someone else to explain it to them. Only words that a
patient would understand are allowed in the explanation, no medical jargon (and you can stipulate whether or not you will allow “sounds like”)
When they guess it correctly they take the term off their back (holding on to it for counting up at the end) and go to the tutor for another.
The winner of the game at the end is the person with most terms in their hand.
The facilitator should be listening during the game (whilst sticking words on backs) to recognise which terms students are having difficulty with. These can then be discussed at the end of the game.

History and examination words (easy for September starters)
Explanations of the terms in HaematologyStudents find haematology terms very difficult at first. One way of making them easier is to help the students to break the word down into its original parts. They can do this even without having ever learned Latin or Greek, simply by comparing words to others that they are familiar with. Usually spend some time doing this on the board after the word on the back game. This also works well for dermatology terms.You may wish to give out definitions as a handout or simply to use the following as a crib sheet.
MicrocytosisMicro = smallCyte = cellMicrocytosis = small cellsCauses include iron deficiency anaemia and thalassaemia
HypochromiaHypo = little/ lowChromia = colourHypochromia = paleCauses include iron deficiency anaemia and thalassaemia
KoilonychiaNails that are slightly concave, like a spoon.A sign of iron deficiency anaemia
MacrocytosisMacro = largeCyte = CellLarge cellsCauses include B12 deficinecy anaemia, folate deficiency anaemia, hypothyroidism, alcohol excess, liver disease and pregnancy
ReticulocytesReticule = network (in this case of RNA)Cyte = cellsYoung, large (RNA containing) red blood cells that are found in active haematopoesis (ie when you treat anaemia due to B12, folate or iron deficiency)
PoikilocytesPoikilos = varietyCytes = cellsVariably shaped cells seen in iron deficiency anaemia, thalassaemia and myelofibrosis
ESRErythrocyte sedimentation rateThe distance theat red cells will settle in anticoagulated blood over one hour. A non-specific indicator
AnisocytosisAn = notiso = samecyte = cellVariation in cell size
Haematology terms
of the presence of disease, often inflammatory, including infection, or malignant
Often seen in anaemias especially once treatment has started
PolychromasiaPoly = LotsChrome = colour
SpherocytesSphere = ball shapedcyte = cellBall shaped cells – which are more fragile than normal red blood cells and therefore break down faster causing anaemia in those with this inherited disease
Megaloblastic anaemiaMega = bigblasts= immature cellsAnaemia in which immature cells are seen in the blood stream.Causes include B12 and folate deficiency.
White cellsBlood cells that fight infection.
ErythropoetinA growth factor that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more blood cells
Blast cellsImmature cells that are not normally found in the blood stream but that may appear in disease
Pernicious anaemiaLow red blood count due to the body not being able to absorb sufficient amounts of vitamin B12.
Thalassaemia traitAn inherited condition in which some of the red blood cells are smaller than normal (due to differences in the haemoglobin that fills the cells). This may cause mild anaemia but otherwise does not normally cause problems to the individual.Problems arise if two people with thalassaemia trait have children as if the child has no normal red cells they may be very anaemic.
Haematology terms
Sickle Cell DiseaseAn inherited condition found most often in people of African descent. the haemoglobin which fills the red cells and carries the oxygen is abnormal. The person with sickle cell disease may suffer:
life threatening anaemia the small blood vessels in the
bones may be blocked by sickle shaped cells causing sever pain.
Thalassaemia
NeutrophilsThe white cells in the blood that fight bacterial infection
PlateletsLittle fragments of cells in the blood that help clotting so that we do not bleed to death if we cut ourselves
ErythrocytesRed cells in the blood – they carry oxygen
NormochromicNormal colourNormochromic normocytic anaemia is often due to chronic disease
HaematopoesisProduction of blood cells
LymphocytesOne type of cells that fight infections, particulary viral infectins
Coomb’s testA test for autoimmune haemolytic anaemia
Paul Bunnell testA test for glandular fever
EosinophilsEosin = a type of chemical stain used in preparing the blood slidePhil = likesi.e. cells that stain with eosin
Haemolytic anaemiaThe bone marrow is producing enough red cells but the cells are being broken down in the body
Haematology terms
The cells in the blood that respond to allergy and to parasite (worm) infections
Unconjugated bilirubinBilirubin is a pigment or dye that is produced as a by product of the normal breakdown of red cells in the body. It is normally excreted in the bile. If too many cells are broken down the body excretion system cannot keep up with production and the extra bilirubin in the circulation may make the patient look pale yellow.
Von Willebrand’s diseaseAn inherited deficiency of one of the clotting factors. This means that the affected person will bleed profusely if they cut themselves.
HaemophiliaAn inherited disease in which the sufferer is lacking one of the factors (factor VIII) that helps the blood clotting. Sufferers bleed into joints after minor injury. They need to be treated with manufactured factor 8
ThrombocytopeniaThrombo = clottingcyte = cellpenia = lack of Lack of clotting cells, i.e. to few platelets.
NeutropeniaNeutrophils are the cells that help the body fight bacterial infectionspenia = lack ofToo few neutrophils
Aplastic AnaemiaAnaemia due to bone marrow failure
PolycythaemiaPoly = lotsCyte = cellAemia = blood
Lots of red cells in the blood (too many)
LeukaemiaLeuk = whiteAemia = blood
Too many white cells in the bloodA kind of cancer of the blood cells
SplenomegalyBig spleen
SplenectomySurgical removal of the spleen.This may be necessary to reduce
Haematology terms
The spleen is the organ that breaks down old damaged red cells. It becomes enlarged if there are lots of abnormal red cells, as in malaria infections, or in certain leukaemias when it may be a site of cell production
haemolysis if the patient has abnormally fragile red cells, such as in spherocytosis.
MyelomaA kind of cancer of one of the blood cells. One of the cell lines (the plasma cells) that produces antibodies (which normally fight infection) proliferates out of control and causes small deposits that weaken bone.The antibodies produced by myeloma cells are no help in fighting infection
Bence - Jones proteinsThese proteins can be found by electrophoresis of the urine in patients with myeloma. They cannot be detected by urine dipstick.
ThrombophiliaThrombo = clottingPhilia = likes
A tendency to clot too much
Hodgkin’s lymphomaA kind of cancer of lymphocytes, one of the cell lines in the lymph glands.
Hodgkin’s lymphoma is distinguished from non-Hodgkins lymphoma by the presence of certain cells that can be seen dwon the microscope – the Reed Sternberg cells. This is important as it helps us predict how the disease will respond to treatment
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomaA kind of cancer of lymphocytes, one of the cell lines in the lymph glands.
Non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma is distinguished from Hodgkins
PancytopeniaPan = AllCyte = cellpenia = lack of
Lack of all types of blood cells usually due to bone marrow failure.
Haematology terms
lymphoma by the absence of certain cells that can be seen down the microscope – the Reed Sternberg cells. This is important as it helps us predict how the disease will respond to treatment
HeparinAn anticoagulant that is used to prevent blood clots in the legs or the lungs.
WarfarinA medicine that prevents unwanted blood clots. It is taken by mouth.
MyelofibrosisMyelo= marrowfibrosis = infiltration with fibrous tissue
The bone marrow is no longer producing blood cells as it has been replaced by fibrous tissue.
MyelosuppressionMarrow suppression – the bone marrow is no longer producing blood cells because something (usually a drug or sever infection) has caused it to switch off.
