What Does it Teach?

Sample of Learning Points from Primary Division Resources

The Allergy Awareness Challenge is designed to make learning fun! Through three interactive challenges, participants will experience hands-on learning in an entertaining and competitive environment with their friends.

Many elementary school students already have knowledge about food allergies through first hand experience with others with food allergies. However this program will help all students understand why it's so important to take allergies seriously and support those at risk.

This program will help participants:

Learn the facts about allergies & anaphylaxis
Recognize the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction
Know what to do in an emergency situation
Understand the need to support friends who have food allergies
Develop a sense of empathy for allergic students and the precautions they follow to stay safe every day
Be mindful of their everyday actions and how it could affect someone with severe allergies
