How Does the Teaching Pack Cover Boys' Puberty?

The Puberty for Boys Magnetic Teaching Bundle covers a wide range of topics to ensure boys are thoroughly familiar with the changes they are going through and well equipped with information moving forward. These topics include:

• Acne: Hormones often cause excess oil which can lead to spots and acne
• Broadening shoulders: Between 14 and 18, muscle fibres get broader to widen shoulders
• Erections: When a male gets aroused, the spongy tissue of the penis fills with blood
• Hair growth: Hair grows thicker on the legs, genitals, armpits, as well as the rest of the body
• Reproductive organs: The penis, testicles, epididymis and vasa deferentia mature in puberty
• Shaving: Some boys and men choose to remove their facial and body hair
• Sperm: A male who has reached puberty produces millions of sperm cells each day
• Voice changing: The voice box (larynx) grows, causing the voice to deepen in boys

What Are the Dimensions of the Teaching Pack?

The school-sized BodyBoard is:

• Height: 60cm (23.5")
• Width: 45cm (18")

The board is large enough to be suitable for an eye-catching display but small enough for students to be able to interact with the board. For a larger display, we recommend the Professional BodyBoard.

What's the Difference Between the Single- and Double-Sided BodyBoards?

The BodyBoards are available to buy either single- or double-sided. The single-sided BodyBoard includes the outline of the body for children to place the magnets on, while the double-sided BodyBoard has the outline of the body, as well as the UK Eatwell Guide on the reverse side of the board.

What's the Difference Between the Teaching- and Professional-Sized Boards? 

This School-Sized My BodyBoard measures 60cm x 45cm (23.5" x 18"). This board is intended to be a regular interactive tool for students to communicate with and can be used in classroom discussions due to its smaller size which can easily be transported, rather than just the centrepiece of a display, like the Professional-Sized My BodyBoard, which measures 90cm x 60cm (35.5" x 23.5").

How Can the My BodyBoard Be Used?

The My BodyBoard is a versatile and invaluable learning tool for primary and secondary schools, and can even be used within the home! The board's large and colourful design means it can be used as an eye-catching display focusing on topics such as emotional health, physical health, mood or relationships.

Teachers and parents can use the board as an engaging way for children to effectively communicate their emotions in a fun and interactive way. This can take the pressure off any heavy conversations about topics which many children can find difficult.

What Lessons Can the My BodyBoard Be Used In?

The My BodyBoard is a useful tool in Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education. PSHE education is designed to assist students in developing to the fullest extent as healthy individuals by educating them about the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare them for life. The board is an indispensable way to educate on such matters in an innovative and imaginative approach.

How Do I Display the BodyBoard?

With a size of 60cm x 45cm (23.5" x 18"), the board is the perfect size for students to interact with the Puberty for Boys Teaching Pack. This makes it the ideal tool to make emotional learning fun. While not in use, the striking appearance of the board makes it ideal to be the centrepiece of an educational display, as the design keeps learning about emotional and physical health interesting.

Can I Purchase the Board and Magnets Separately?

The BodyBoard and Puberty for Boys magnets can be purchased separately or as a bundle. This allows the magnets to be used on more than one board or for the magnets to be replaced if lost.
