AAAAI!!! Sounds more like something you might scream when running away from asthma education, doesn’t it? But, actually, “AAAAI” is the short name for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and they have loads of asthma education tools. Plus, they now have a new Just for Kids section. It has games, puzzles, storybooks, video, and more.

Their new spokesperson is Mr. Nose-it-All. (As you can see from his picture, he’s actually more of a “spokes-nose”.) Mr. Nose-it-All has pages and pages of word games, bubble pop games, coloring books, matching games, storybooks, even a BrainPOP video with Tim and Moby.

Since it comes from some of the smartest people on the planet for stuff related to asthma, I can guarantee the information there is really good. But, they’ve also sort of hidden the asthma education behind games and things to make it so much easier for kids.

Kids, there’s just loads of info there that’s fun. And learning that’s fun is way easier! No need to scream “AAAAI!” Well, maybe there is…as in, “AAAAI, thanks for helping make asthma education fun!”

(Parents, doctors, nurses, health educators: check it out and let the kids in your life know that they should go, “AAAAI”!)
