Keys To Alcohol
New Edition 2010
Keys To Smoking




£29.95 each

The aim of the four 'Keys To...' resources is to provide key sessions on important health issues that may be used in mainstream Primary and Secondary Schools and that are inclusive of children and young people with a visual impairment. All pupil/student sheets are in large font, with a FREE CD Rom included that will enable the pupils/students to increase/decrease the font as required.

Each resource contains ten key sessions covering aspects of knowledge and understanding, attitudes and skills development with activities utilising a variety of learning styles.

The approach enables schools to deliver the main aspects of drugs education as recommended by all the major guidance documents for schools, including Drugs: Guidance for Schools; Personal and social framework for 7-19 year olds in Wales; and Curriculum for Excellence.

NEW 'Keys to alcohol...' for children aged 7-11 years old.

Several large scale surveys have confirmed that many children begin drinking alcohol between the ages of 8-12 years, although very few will drink on a regular basis. This resource is, therefore, highly relevant for all children in Primary Schools. In addition, the importance of informing and involving parents/carers has been acknowledged through specific activities and other links.

  • What do you already know about alcohol?
  • What happens to alcohol in the body?
  • What are some of the risks of drinking alcohol now and in the future?
  • When and how is it best to say ?no? to alcohol?
  • How can you find out more about alcohol?

Life Matters - New!
A board game for young people aged 13-19 years old about life's opportunities, risks and challenges... sexual health and behaviour, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs




13 - 19
£54.95

Life Matters has proven to be extremely effective in engaging young people in discussions about a variety of issues around sexual health and sexual behaviour, alcohol, smoking and other drugs.

The pack consists of:

  • 1 dice
  • 6 playing tokens
  • 6 female bodies with 7 body parts
  • 6 male bodies with 7 body parts
  • 55 questions about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs
  • 55 questions about sexual health and sexual behaviour
  • 12 ?life? cards
  • 1 Life Matters board

It can be played by up to twelve people and takes about one hour to complete. The winner is the first player to finish with all seven body parts intact! Response to the game has been very positive and indicates that it is an excellent way for young people to learn about important issues relating to their health and wellbeing, including sexual health and behaviour, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

The game throws up the unexpected and shows how it takes knowledge and understanding of a wide variety of issues and sound decision making to become a winner. The issues raised will inevitably continue the discussions and inevitably lead to requests to replay the game, since only a fraction of the questions will be raised during any one game.
