You are able to edit the PowerPoint download to suit your needs exactly. Below is a video giving an overview of the presentation.

Looking for a Fads assembly? This PowerPoint explores fads—short-lived crazes that spread rapidly, often fuelled by social media and the desire to belong. It explains how trends like fidget spinners, Pokémon Go and TikTok dances capture young people’s attention, and examines the psychological reasons behind them, including novelty-seeking, identity, and peer influence. The presentation also highlights risks, from dangerous viral challenges to environmental waste, and encourages students to think critically before joining in. It distinguishes between fads and longer-lasting cultural trends, offers historical context through the example of Tulipomania, and invites pupils to reflect on their own experiences. The overall message encourages enjoyment of fads while maintaining safety, individuality and thoughtful decision-making.
