speaking country and only hearing and speaking English until they are fluent.

can be a valuable part of learning English.

language skills. We offer Free Online Word Games which are specifically designed to build language skills and motivate people

Kids,
We need your help to fight an enemy...
Bacteria live on the food you eat if it isn't cooked and handled properly. It also lives
on dirty hands. Eeeww! Come with us, and we'll show you how to fight this disgusting enemy.
The Food Detectives Fight BAC!® game gives kids a fun way to learn about food borne illness.
More and more, food borne illness is making news headlines. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
food borne illnesses in the United States affect millions of people and cause thousands of deaths every year. The CDC says
300,000 people are hospitalized every year. You can learn more by going to BAC!® Facts.
By listening to music and 'solving cases', 8-12 year-old kids learn some key messages:
Bacteria are on food and dirty hands. That is why it is important to wash hands properly,
and to handle food safely.
Hands should be washed before eating, before touching or preparing food or drink, and after
going to the bathroom.
Bacteria can be killed by heating food to the proper temperature, or by cleaning hands or
utensils that it comes in contact with. Bacteria growth can be slowed by chilling foods.
Leftovers should be refrigerated within 2 hours.
Games on the Food Detectives Fight BAC!® site include:
BacTV: 5 songs and videos help kids learn through song. Feel free to
review the song lyrics.
The Case of the Kid Who Knew Enough: Youth are encouraged to make stickers or signs that share
key reminders about food safety. They will need a printer. Most office supply sections of stores carry the label paper needed
for making stickers.
The Case of the Filthy Fingers: By working through a timeline, kids learn when they should wash their
hands, and when hand washing really isn't needed.
The Case of the Bacteria that Kept Growing: In this arcade-style game,
kids kill bacteria with heat and soap.
The Case of Good Food Gone Bad: By safely handling food while making snacks and
meals, kids can prevent food borne illness. This class game of concentration offers hints and a few jokes as well.
Certificates:
After all of the other cases have been 'solved', kids can design and print their own certificates.
