The same organelle can appear in different colours, orientations and drawing styles. Matching encourages students to focus on identifying features rather than colour alone.

For organelle identification, lesson warm-ups and classroom revision.
After a match, ask students to state one reason for their choice and compare easily confused drawings. Use the game as a warm-up or revision activity.
