Pregnancy Anatomy Icebreaker Activity | String Them Together!

Looking for a hands-on, highly engaging way to break the ice or recap key pregnancy vocabulary? String Them Together is the perfect interactive activity to get your learners moving, talking, and visualising real-life anatomy measurements!

Whether you are an antenatal educator/birth worker welcoming a new cohort of expectant parents, or a secondary school biology/health teacher wrapping up a unit on human reproduction, this versatile resource builds community while teaching essential facts.

How It Works

Grab a String: Participants choose a mystery length of colorful string from a basket.
Find Your Match: They move around the room to find the person or couple with the exact same length of string to form a team.
Find your Anatomy Fact Card: Teams now look for their anatomy fact card that matches their length of string i.e. card: “average length of the umbilical cord” matches string length of 55cm.
Connect & Learn: Teams spend 3 minutes getting to know each other (using the built-in icebreaker prompt) and match their string to a hidden anatomy statement card.
Reveal: The group comes together for introductions and to reveal the fascinating anatomy measurements!

Perfect For:

Birth Workers & Childbirth Educators: An ideal, low-pressure icebreaker for expectant couples in antenatal or hypnobirthing classes.
Secondary School Teachers: A fantastic, active-learning vocabulary recap for high school anatomy, biology, or health classes covering pregnancy and fetal development.

Average length and thickness of the umbilical cord
Average diameter and thickness of the human placenta at term
