Smoking
 
Up in Smoke - a smoking education resource for those working with 11-16 year olds - New Available in Spring
Keys To Smoking




£34.95 each

'Smoking is the largest preventable cause of death in the United Kingdom. Evidence shows that the prevalence of smoking among young people increases between the ages of 11 and 16 which is why this resource is essential for those working with young people, since every day approximately 450 young people are 'recruited' to smoke.

Up in Smoke contains ten easy to follow tried and tested interactive sessions using a variety of teaching and learning styles. The emphasis of the resource is on the benefits of being smoke free.

Sessions include: 'What do you already know about smoking?'; 'The effects'; 'Passive smoking'; 'Does it cost the earth?'; 'Advertising'; 'Women and smoking'; and 'Helping someone to stop'.


Keys To Smoking
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 smoking...' for children aged 7-11 years old.

The vast majority of Primary School pupils do not smoke. It is, therefore, the ideal time to introduce the issues and to encourage pupils to consider the benefits of remaining smoke-free in their future life. As in 'Keys to alcohol', the importance of information and involving parents/carers has been acknowledged through specific activities and other links.

The resource includes the following sessions:

  • What is in tobacco smoke?
  • How does smoking affect the body?
  • What are the wider effects of smoking?
  • What are the advantages of being smoke-free?
  • How can you help others to be smoke-free?

Life Matters - New!
A board game for young people aged 13-19 years old about life's opportunities, risks and challenges




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.

The World of Tobacco – turning over a new leaf

This resource is the only comprehensive programme of smoking education for 5-11 year olds in the UK. It aims to provide children with an opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of tobacco related issues, to explore attitudes, feelings and values, and learn practical life skills in relation to cigarettes and tobacco.

The World of Tobacco contains:
  • 23 lessons including extension activities that encourage the involvement of family and carers
  • Photocopiable classroom materials
  • A series of workshop activites for use with the whole school community
  • Background papers and information sheets to enable teachers to address this sensitive issue with confidence.
These materials were developed in partnership with the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.

Feedback Received:

It is a vital part of our education programme to prevent young children from smoking. This manual is used with 5 to 11 year olds and has raised the dangers of tobacco abuse and has also offered a very practical yet fun approach in tackling a sensitive area. The sessions have had such an impact on the older children that they are now trying to discourage their parents from smoking and a number of adult residents have asked for their own training sessions to try and combat tobacco addiction.
