What Are the Dimensions of the Professional Pack?

The Professional-Sized BodyBoard is:

• Height: 90cm (35.5")
• Width: 60cm (23.5")

The board's large design makes it ideal for an eye-catching display. For a smaller board which is easier for students to interact with, we recommend the School-Sized BodyBoard.

What Is 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 Professional- and Teaching-Sized Boards? 

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

How Can the Professional My BodyBoard Be Used?

The My BodyBoard is a versatile and invaluable learning tool for primary and secondary schools. 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 other professionals 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 emotions 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 90cm x 60cm (35.5" x 23.5"), the board is perfect for large displays as it is large enough to hold lots of information, making it the ideal tool to make emotional learning fun. 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 Teaching Nutrition 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.
