Abstract: Summer break is a time for FUN and FRIENDS, but mosquitoes don’t take summers off! Mosquito education is more important than ever during peak-season. Making your mosquito education lessons game-based is a win-win! Kids will have a blast playing interactive, educational games while building valuable social-emotional skills through teamwork. Relay races and scavenger hunts are two high-energy activities that lend themselves perfectly to the topics of mosquito life cycle, habitats, and source reduction.
