Last updated April 2008Food Allergy Awareness Week
May 11th - 17th
Ways you can make a difference
Have story time about food allergies. Book is donated by F.A.I.T.H. if in Alabama.
Have kids do a bulletin board on food allergies and the dangers of
food allergies. Be sure to take pictures and send them in to us!
Let kids play the Glitter Game.
This is a great activity for all ages. It shows how
quickly a reaction can happen. It gives kids a better
understanding of food allergies and is a simple game.
How easy is it to cause an Allergic Reaction?
Take a small amount of glitter and put it in your hand. Shake someone's hand and then have that person shake another person's hand. After a few minutes of shaking hands, you quickly see how easy small food particles can travel. Of course, with toddlers, their hands go right to their mouth. If that child has food allergies, you have just caused an allergic reaction. Help protect children with food allergies by always washing your hands after eating.
Have a Pajama Day!
Students pay $1.00 to $5.00 on a designated day and get to wear their pajamas to school.
It's a very easy fundraising idea. All you need is someone to go the classrooms and collect
the money. Everyone at our school likes it so much that even the teachers participate!
Consider having a contest for the ugliest, weirdest, etc. pajamas. If Pajamas are not
allowed then you could do something else like Crazy Hat Day, Inside Out Day,
Jeans Day or something else fun. The main thing is to bring awareness towards
food allergies and have fun while doing it.
Have kids create a page on how they can make things easier for friends with food allergies.
Hand Washing!!!!
Have a Car Wash.
Get a local store to donate a gift and raffle off for food allergies.
We would love for you to be as involved as possible. Please let us know what we can do to help with any projects you decide to do. We would love to feature some schools and the kids that are involved on our website and Be sure to take lots of pictures!!
