Zones board game now available for youth groups and clubs
Zones is a new health board game co-developed with young people, for young people. It is available free of charge to youth clubs, youth groups and to any professional working with young people.
Zones has been designed as part of Public Health England’s (PHE) national youth health campaign. It encourages young people to think and talk about the health issues that affect them growing up, and help prepare them to make informed decisions.
Zones can be played by three teams, each with up to four young people (11+ years) and requires a youth leader or youth worker to facilitate play.
Teams race around the board and back to their home zone by completing a number of challenges and battles against other teams. The challenges range from fun team building activities, through to myth busting and serious discussions about smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs and sex and relationships. The game encourages players to think about the consequences behind the choices they make, without normalising or glamourising the issues.
Youth clubs and groups can order their free Zones board game by calling the PHE Orderline on 0300 123 1002 and quoting product code 2900915

“Zones enables young people to discuss sensitive subjects without feeling embarrassed…it teaches valuable life skills in an informal way, making it both unique and fun!”
