It must be a fun and engaging game that can be played for 10-20 minutes, because it’s a review game for the vocabulary we learned for the entire week.
ESL = English as Second Language
I am teaching overseas.

What is a fun unique game I can use in a class of 10 students to learn biology? (ex.like jeopardy or bingo.)?

I tutor 10 students for freshman biology at a college, and want to make a fun game I can use in my tutoring sessions. The game has to facilitate learning somehow, by asking questions or drawing on the board..Something like Jeopardy, Bingo, Pictionary, or Who Wants to be a Millionare but with a twist?
I would prefer not to use those though. Anyone have interesting or unique ideas.
