Epilepsy Action has produced a fun chatterbox game, with questions and answers about epilepsy and activities. Questions include:
- I want to learn karate, is this OK?
- Can I ride a horse?
- Is it safe to go on the rides at the theme park?
The chatterbox is an ideal tool to help children learn more about epilepsy, for example in PSHE or citizenship lessons.

hi my name is georgia,
most of you have heard my story before, that i might be able to get rid of my epilepsy with an operation. i have heard some of your stories too and i think that you should all be a bit scared or have a few emotions from your epilepsy because there is, of course, a reason for it and that is that you sometimes might not be able to as many things as wanted to when you get older. but remember, big things come in small packages so you never know, like me, you might someday be able to get rid of you epilepsy and not have to worry about it, or if not then you will at least be treated for it good enough that you won't have your seizures any more. i wish good luck to all of you lot because i know how you feel because i've had my epilepsy for 6 years nearly, because i'm 12 in 6 days. i really do feel for all of you guys and girls and i wish you all the best of luck it was nice meeting you all,
xx georgia xx
dear alex this is a poem i wrote for you:
There is a girl i met called alex,
And she seemed to be in a bit of a panic,
She had something called epilepsy,
She had exactly the same symtoms as me.
I talked to her and calmed her down on chatterbox,
And told her not to lose her socks,
This seemed to work very good,
As we became good friends like all friends should.
if she ever sees this then i want her to know,
that big things come in small packages so,
she wont have to worry soon,
because everything will be good again.
but if she ever gets scared again,
then she will always have someone for time to spend.
with lots of love from georgia stent xx
