What made this project unique is the adoption of a co-design approach to create the resource. Over 100 Scottish pupils designed a whole host of island biosecurity activities within the digital education pack. Their creative ideas based on their own learning preferences, included board games, art activities, outdoor activities, digital games, treasure hunts, songs, and films. The RSPB then brought their ideas to life by employing designers and game developers to produce a finished product. For example, pupils from the Small Isles Primary on the Isle of Jura invented a board game based on the playing principles of Monopoly, where pupils can work together to eradicate rats form their islands by answering questions and collecting Conservation Points to buy biosecurity measures. By signing up to this FREE programme, each class will receive the ‘Save our Seabirds’ board game (see attached)

The programme is easy to navigate and celebrates the creative ideas of children as a way to teach school pupils about biosecurity.. If you would like to sign up to this FREE programme, please can you fill in and return the request from attached to educationscotland@rspb.org.uk and we will get it sent out in the post. Please note, the board game is part of module 3 of the programme and there is a digital snakes and ladders game included as well. For more information on the six modules, visit
