Specifications
Learning About Food Allergies & Intolerances by Akros is a valuable educational game designed to help children aged 3 to 8 years understand food-related health conditions in an engaging and age-appropriate way. Developed in collaboration with the General Council of Dieticians-Nutritionists of Spain (CGD-NE), this game fosters empathy and awareness by teaching children to recognise common food allergies and intolerances, the foods that trigger them, and the potential symptoms. Through interactive play, children learn how to identify allergenic foods and respond appropriately to allergy-related scenarios, making it an excellent tool for building an inclusive classroom environment. The game encourages cooperative learning while also supporting key developmental skills such as attention, concentration, and health awareness.
Educational Benefits:
- Promotes empathy and understanding of peers with food allergies or intolerances.
- Enhances knowledge of nutrition and health through recognition of allergenic foods and their effects.
- Builds cognitive skills such as attention, concentration, and classification through gameplay.
- Encourages respect and inclusion by fostering awareness of dietary needs and safety.
Classroom Ideas:
- Allergy Awareness Circle: Use the intolerance cards to discuss what each allergy means and what foods should be avoided.
- Sorting Game: Challenge children to match the food cards to the correct intolerance group to reinforce learning.
- Wildcard Play: Use the ambulance cards to explore what to do in case of an allergic reaction, linking to safety and health education.
- Empathy Building: Pair students and role-play how to support a friend with a food allergy during lunchtime or at a birthday party.
- Visual Learning Wall: Create a class chart with food and intolerance matches for ongoing reference and discussion.
