Games

La Loteria de los Pesticidas (produced by the IPM Pesticide Education Program). Played like bingo, this innovative teaching tool will make training sessions more interesting and enjoyable and help workers retain more of what they have been taught. The pictures and messages on the cards highlight important farmworker pesticide use and safety concerns in a way that pierces cultural barriers hindering effective communication of health and safety information to Spanish-speaking workers. Each package consists of 16 game boards, a deck of 54 cards, and complete instructions in both Spanish and English. All game pieces are printed in full color on heavy card stock to last through many sessions. DANR Publication #3355, $15.00.
