Our free educational resources provide you with ready-made assemblies and content for lessons that will bring the Day to life.
We have a range of films which tell children's own stories of living with a genetic disorder.
All of the films come with teacher's notes to help you discuss what your class has seen.
Tailored to your needs
Our films can be used as engaging content for science lessons, PSHE or assemblies.
The films are accompanied by worksheets, activities and can be used all year round.

What 'Genes' Means
You can also download our animation, What 'Genes' Means. It's short, fun and a perfect way to explain the basics if you're not a science teacher!
There are also ready-made assemblies which are ideal for the lead-up to Jeans for Genes Day.
All of these resources are FREE.
You'll find them all at www.genesareus.org
