Biology for kids!
Gene Theory Games
In biology, heredity refers to the passing of genetic factors from parents to offspring or from one generation to the next. The biological definition of heredity may also pertain to the association of a particular trait with the genetic constitution of an individual organism, rather than with environmental conditions.
Lets Make this more fun with a few gene biology games...
A Mendelian Genetics Game is a worker placement, dice-drafting game set in St. Thomas' Abbey, where Gregor Mendel performed his paradigm-shifting biology experiments. 1-5 players take the roles of research scientists competing to collect and validate experimental data on pea plants.
Players will spend time working on the monastery grounds, simulate plant breeding with dice and Punnett Squares, and use funding to further their research opportunities.

WHAT IS DNA? DNA is the genetic code that makes you, you! Discover the exciting world of genetics with this fun biology kit that guides boys and girls through dozens of experiments and activities to learn about DNA & traits.
-
EXCITING EXPERIMENTS - Pull out DNA strands from fruit and your very own cheek cells, survey friends and family to learn about quirky traits, and use ‘DNA codes’ to create cute monsters with silly features!
-
BECOME A SCIENTIST - Budding scientists will have a blast using the scientific method to conduct experiments with real lab equipment, while learning that science is fun and exciting.
Head into the lab for an in-depth investigation of genetics, the branch of biology focused on Heredity and variation in organisms, and DNA, The acid that holds the blueprints for life. See genetic material with your own eyes as you isolate the DNA from a tomato in a test tube. Investigate inheritance and learn how traits are passed down from parents to children.

A very basic free PDF print off that should be played with M and M and skittles rather than the included shapes. This game is more of an object lesson but candy makes it fun.
The rules are simple:
1) Put all of one color of candy in the grandparents circle, do the same with the other grandparent.
2) Choose if the couple is having a boy or girl. And give half of each grandparents candy to the offspring.
3) For simplicities sake, make the nexy spouse identical to the previous match (all girls are m and ms or something)
4) Now determine the 4 kids.
