Synaptic Tag
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/outside.html
Synaptic Tag : Before starting, you might want to read about the synapse.
In the game of "synaptic tag," you are part of the synapse. The object of the game is to get as many neurotransmitters across the synapse to the dendrite without being caught (deactivated) by the enzyme. It is like a game of tag. Draw or find a space for the axon and a dendrite (see the picture below). Some players are neurotransmitters and they wait in the axon; other players are enzymes, they wait in the gap between the axon and the dendrite. It is best to have more neurotransmitters than enzymes. The enzymes are "it."
