Teachers can Download our Free Food Allergy Safety Book

Are you a classroom teacher looking for free online food allergy curriculum resources? Our food allergy club for kids has developed free classroom food allergy safety lessons for teachers like yourself in order to help keep your student(s) with food allergies safe at school.

Based on a character in a children's chapter book, our Classroom Food Allergy Safety Rules Book includes short reading materials and activities that teach your classroom about food allergy dangers. The document contains a total of 16 pages. Teachers can pick and choose which reading materials and activities are most appropriate for their classroom. Lessons can either stand alone or build upon additional lessons provided in this handy food allergy information book for the classroom. Kids will learn a little about their immune system, antibodies, and even celiac disease. The curriculum is taught from the perspective of a cartoon character named Cilie (pronounced "silly") and is told in a fun and educational way.

Our Curriculum will Teach Students About Anaphylaxis, Too

We present kids with four simple rules they need to follow to keep your classroom safe from cross contamination and a possible anaphylactic reaction: 

Classroom teachers in elementary and middle school can use our materials for their classroom food allergy safety lessons. We supply over 16 pages worth of materials for teachers to pick and choose from. Materials range in difficulty and subject matter to cater to specific classroom needs. Take a look at our curriculum materials and decide for yourself which pages best suite the needs of your students. We also include a convenient teacher's guide with additional allergy information and answer key.

At cilie-yack.org we believe that even at very young ages children are well able to understand food related issues if it is presented to them in a clear and simple manner. When you download the short book you will find various age specific activity sheets to choose from.

Use our curriculum materials to reinforce your class discussions about food allergies. You can also use it as a supplement to any additional educational materials you utilize for your classroom as provided by your school nurse, district, principal, doctor, or the parents of your student with severe food allergies.
