Lord Sugar Meets PSHE Educational Games Head On
If you work with children and young people, the new ‘Choice’ PSHE games Discussion Card Sets and Billboard Posters for teachers, youth workers, counsellors, mentors and parents can make your life a whole lot easier. Designed to educate and create conversations about an array of issues with young people they cover a range of adolescent issues in Health, Crime Prevention, Personal Development, Citizenship and the Environment. Tackling Knife, Gun and Gang crime fro example they have solutions to many teenage problems. The developers won a BT Business Competition in June 2009 and a chance to meet Peter Jones from Dragon’s Den for an advice session, and more recently Lord Sugar gave a nod of congratulation at a British Enterprise week event at the British library on 19th November.
The “Choice” range was developed to assist teachers, youth workers, mentors, counsellors and parents to communicate productively with teenagers and young people. Developed with the QCDA and the ECM programmes in mind, the choices discussion cards and poster series provides clear, easy to use ‘talking tools’. They aim to get teenagers and young people around a table rather than the usual computer screens and mobile phones. By talking in groups or in one to one sessions about the issues which really matter in their lives they gain invaluable skills and advice for their personal growth and development.
The choice discussion educational games which meet the new PSHE curriculum due to commence in 2011, can be used in schools, youth projects, Connexions Services, counselling services or at home. They can also be used as an introduction to a themed piece of work or for training purposes.
