'Gotta Brain?...Getta Helmet! Resource Kit'

Welcome to the new and improved 'Gotta Brain?...Getta Helmet! Resource Kit'

Building on the success of the bike helmet kits, a newly expanded resource kit has been developed to include snowboarding and skiing. As before, the kits are available free of charge to schools, community agencies, and businesses within the Capital Health region all year around.

The comprehensive kits will provide educators with the information and resources to teach children and teens 'safe riding skills and attitudes' whether cycling, snowboarding, or skiing. Included in the kit is a manual containing lesson plans, quizzes, and student information sheets.  To maximize the learning experience supplemental resources such as helmets, DVDs, and books are also provided.

For those educators planning a fieldtrip to a ski hill, the 'Gotta Brain?...Getta Helmet! Resource Kit' continues to complement Alberta Education's Program of Studies for Health and Life Skills; however, the material is now suitable for kindergarten to grade 8.  Learning links also exist in Art, Drama, Information and Communication Technology, and Language Arts.

As before, lessons may be taught independently or as a complete series.  This provides the educator with the opportunity to adapt all, or portions of, the modules he/she feels best suits his/her groups' needs.
