Are you teaching puberty for the first time this school year? Nervous about teaching birth control? Worried about the questions students may ask? Or maybe you’ve been teaching for a number of years and are looking for some fun activities to change up your lessons? You’ve come to the right place! We have a number of games, quizzes, activities, videos and resources that will support your lesson plan. We have resources for all grade levels that can help you teach your students about their bodies, their health, relationships, consent, respecting diversity for all students and many more! Please email education@shorecentre.ca if you are looking for something that you can’t find on our site. If you’re looking for any booklets or presentations that we used while visiting your class check out SHORE Centre Materials.
