Activities

I completely grasp the concepts and necessities of teaching students on ALL levels of their own learning. However, the issue I am facing is more focused toward the Kinesthetic learner.
I am finding it difficult to come up with physical activities for my Anatomy & Physiology Medical Assisting class. As we all know, there are numerous websites out there, however they are more focused on middle school and high school age ranges, not college/continued learning ages.
I did some brainstorming with previous colleagues/classmates of my own and came up with an idea for teaching the heart. I want them to label it's complex components, all sections/valves/nodes/etc, incorporating the blood flow of oxygenated and deoxygenated as well. I'm actually going to have them label it all out on the clinical floor using labels and white board markers. Aside from that I am at a standstill.
I just find that there really isn't much out there in the means of websites that might give me age appropriate ideas. Has anyone else come up against this? Have you faced the class, knowing the information yet stuck on how to physically integrate it? Where do you suggest I look for age appropriate (students range from 18-50 years of age) activities? Do YOU have any activities you like to do that you might think are helpful? And please, NO jeopardy! :)
