Toolkit Contents: 

Teacher Overview

Created in collaboration with teachers and healthcare professionals, we’ve put together a series of educational toolkits—all aimed at empowering you with the most informative and fun tools you need to introduce organ donation education into your classroom, with flair! 

During this lesson (or series of lessons), your students will learn all about their vital and mighty organs, while being while also being introduced to the concept of organ donation.

Lesson Presentations

We’ve created two versions.

1. The Express Version is perfect for younger children (K-2) and can be covered in a single lesson.
2. The Full Version is ideal for all other age groups, and includes more insights about each organ and how to keep them healthy. At the end of this version, you’ll also find a number of optional reflection questions, case studies and stories you can chat through with your class.

• To make your job even easier, we've created supporting Lesson Presentation Notes.

Family Resources

To get families talking more about what really matters, please send this important booklet to all parents and guardians on the same day you introduce the Orgamites to your class (you can print it or email it to them).

Object Lessons

To help kids really appreciate their mighty organs (and remember why and how they work for the rest of time) we've created a series of fun and interactive object lessons (one for each of the mighty organs).

Additional Teacher Resources

Case Studies, Classroom and Take Home Activities, Colouring Sheets and Classroom Posters and other teaching aids are available to further drive the message home. Choose any or all of them, print them out or upload them onto your whiteboard.

Mighty Pledge Certificate and Classroom Poster

This is our mighty manifesto. It’s a call to all to be kinder to ourselves, other people and the planet we all share. Consider making the ‘Mighty Pledge’ together, and even displaying it somewhere in your classroom.

PICK YOUR PACE

The speedy way—covering the entire lesson in one go with the help of our Lesson Presentation Notes and a few of our Additional Teacher Resources – or, The really sticky way—taking your time to really explore with your class the functions of each mighty organ. You may want to focus on one organ per day/lesson, and supplement the Lesson Presentation with our interactive (and very entertaining) object lessons.

TOP TIP FOR TEACHERS

Make time to talk: Talking about organ donation helps us to honour one another’s choices. No matter which pace you choose, be sure to allocate a little time to recap and reflect on what has been covered in the lesson. Let students share some of their own thoughts and impressions. When teaching about organ donation, focus on the positivity of ‘giving a gift’, and the difference a transplant can make to a recipient’s life. Try to keep the conversation light, positive and non-judgmental. Encourage students to chat about their choices at home, with their parents or guardians.
