New Teaching Resource Has Magnetic Attraction In The Classroom.

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Keen2learn’s range of PSHE educational games has been joined by a great new front of class teaching resource. The My BodyBoard series of health and nutrition teaching aids comprise of a cartoon drawing of the body or food – mounted in a sturdy aluminium frame. The board is magnetic to allow the class to place a combination of magnetic text and pictures onto the image of the human body or “eatwell” plate. The teacher can then highlight the dangers of alcohol and smoking by showing the effects on organs of the body.

The “bodyboards” were developed by an ex teacher who used his experience in class linked with the graphics skill of his wife to launch these great new learning games. Allowing children to see the adverse effects on the organs of the body and place the images correctly on the body is a significant ways of getting the point across. Keen2learn will adding extensions to this exciting range as they become available.

The boards can be easily displayed on a an easel or flip chart easel and stored with the magnetic images in place in an optional storage bag.

New Educational PSHE Games Get Families Talking

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

What is your Dads favourite hero and why, who is your Mums favourite author and what bugs you the most about….? A couple of new educational games in the form of discussion cards gets everyone talking like never before. Suddenly meal times take on a new look and everyone can open up the conversation.

These new ice breaker games in the form of discussion cards are ideal to get the conversation flowing and get everyone to open up and share their thoughts. As a PSHE educational games it gets even the reluctant talker to join in.

Regular mealtimes help families develop more than just good eating habits. As the conversation flows around the dining table, children learn to share views and ideas, develop listening skills and gain mutual respect.

As interesting discussions take place, there is an opportunity for the family to really get to know each other and to find out family traditions. Sharing love, laughter and fun brings a family closer and regular time together offers children a deep sense of security and stability.

We all know that mealtimes offer families an opportunity to come together, reconnect and share their day, but due to our busy lives dinner often becomes a “meal on the move”. To make life easier we end up with dinner on our laps, teenagers permanently plugged into their MP3 and six year olds glued to the TV. Wouldn’t  it be nice if everyone was happy to come to the table without persuasion, and willingly stay there for the duration of the meal. Fink cards make mealtimes enjoyable for all the family.

The new Fink cards have had some rave reviews:

“ Lisa Warner’s Fink Cards are some of the most exciting and creative ideas I’ve ever seen to stimulate family conversation and connection. Any family would want them in their home as a key component to the harmony and understanding we are all looking for.”   Lynne Franks

“If you’re having trouble persuading your taciturn children to do more than grunt at mealtimes, mother-of-four Lisa Warner’s new Fink™ Cards could be just what you need.”   Raising Kids

“We have had so much fun with these cards and all learnt new stuff about each other. They have been a brilliant way of getting kids to want to sit and eat their tea. Sophie has taken to them so so much she wants to play them with her friends too. They have made all of us get involved in talking to each other – such a simple idea but works fantastic. I would recommend these for all ages most definitely. My mum asked if she can borrow them at Christmas as it would be brilliant fun with lots of us!”

Lord Sugar Meets PSHE Educational Games Head On

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

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.

PSHE Educational Games Added To Keen2learn

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Personal, Social and Health Education educational games for the classroom and home have been added to the Keen2learn range. “We’ve had great success with our original selection of self esteem games, and are really pleased to be able to extend it” said Alistair Owens MD at www.keen2learn.co.uk

Going to a new school or moving up to a new class can knock the confidence of children. Building their self esteem, overcoming bullying can often be overlooked. These educational games are used in class as a teaching resource but have equal application at home to help parents explore the feeling and wishes of their children.

The new range includes self esteem, bullying, feelings and emotions, social awareness, health and nutrition. A great way to explore and extend children’s awareness and social interaction. The games are used as a teaching resource in the classroom have equal application as a game at home. Playing the game with  children can give parents a greater insight into issues which can be affecting their children who often suffer in silence.
