Welcome to Asthma Educate

There are 1.1 million children with asthma in the UK, so it’s essential that all children have a good understanding of what the condition is, how it may affect their friends and family and what to do in an asthma attack.

We have produced lesson plans, activities and assembly guidance to help make learning about asthma as easy and as fun as possible.

Resources for teachers and pupils 

The PSHE and science lesson plans provide two ways for you to include asthma in lessons. Both lesson plans include activity sheets for the children to help reinforce their learning. Each lesson plan also includes interactive resources that you can find on this site such as a click-through story about a little boy with asthma and the vox pop videos on the right of this page showing three children talking about asthma.

There is also a quick quiz, which you can use with the children at any point to help reinforce what they have learnt.

To help support you in delivering all of these activities, you will also find an asthma myth-buster and more information about asthma that you can download and keep to hand in case any of the children have more challenging questions.

To see how all the activities fit into your curriculum, take a look at the curriculum links.
