Here are some links to fun facts, games, and learning activities for kids to learn more about asthma!

The Asthma Center has all kinds of information for kids to learn about asthma such as asthma medications, asthma triggers, asthma dictionary, asthma diary, and so much more. There is also an asthma movie that shows children what happens in the lungs when a person has an asthma flare-up. Some information is available in Spanish.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed Kids' Air in order for children to learn about air quality. The air quality index (AQI) information for Kindergarten and First Grade children teach them about clean air and when it is good to play outside. For children between the ages of 7-10, children learn from the chameleons about AQI, how EPA measures air pollution, what they can do to lower their risk, and other topics as well as games. There are also resources for teachers.

This site is designed for children in grades 6-8 to learn more about AIQ and air pollution. In the game Smog City 2, children are in charge of the city and learn how different factors contribute to air pollution.

Children learn the importance of controlling their asthma so they don't miss out on enjoying physical activities.
