Encourage your students to ‘paint their poster’ by entering our Create the Card Competition. We’re offering UK-based children, aged 12 - 16, the chance to design the official BBFC Black Card for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, in collaboration with Lionsgate.

Deliver the BBFC Create the Card Competition as part of your Key Stage Three and Four curriculums. We have a range of free classroom resources for you to use to support students’ learning and introduce the competition to your class.

Get your whole school or year group excited about the competition with our free downloadable assembly PowerPoint presentation. The presentation introduces students to the BBFC, our age ratings and our Create the Card competition. To help you deliver the presentation, we’ve put together a handy set of teacher notes. The teacher notes include a range of curriculum-linked resources and lesson packs for delivery in the classroom.

In addition to our assembly deck, we have the below additional resources that are tied into further areas of the curriculum:
