Managing Stress Educational Board Game

Stress is an unpleasant, but natural part of life. The Managing Stress Educational Board Game is a game of chance which is designed as a fun way of helping secondary school students become aware of stressors and various stress management techniques.

Biology Behind Stress

Stress is how the body reacts to any kind of demand, threat or change being experienced, putting us into fight or flight mode. When we experience a stressor, the brain starts to release hormones, adrenaline and cortisol, which usually causes a feeling of being overwhelmed.

Stress Impacts on Performance

While stress is a normal part of day to day life, young people aren't always taught how to handle it effectively. If not dealt with properly, stress can lead to negative performance at school, or even affect attendance all together. It is important for students to understand and identify their own stressors and find ways to manage them sufficiently.
