The MyBodyBoard Nutrition aimed at schools consists of a magnetic board and magnetic pack with 54 different picture magnets and 44 text descriptions. The BodyBoard is a smaller version of the professional board, making it ideal for classrooms. Teachers can engage with individual students and groups to discuss the effects of food and educate on nutrition. Students match up the magnetic pictures with the words and then place them on the My BodyBoard. A full lesson plan and pop lock folder is included with each pack.
MyBodyBoard Nutrition helps teachers to cover the following topics during health eating education classes:
- The effects of food and nutrition on the organs of the body
- Good effects of nutrition
- Negative effects from inadequate nutrition or too much of certain foods
- Healthy vs. junk foods

- Food intake vs energy output

The board can be fastened to the wall as a longterm display or placed on one of MyBodyBoard's telescopic easels. My BodyBoards are designed to be visually appealing and large enough to set up as a display for use as an interactive tool for an interesting lesson. A carry case is also available for use with MyBodyBoard Nutrition.
