Poison Look-Alikes

Participants will learn about food safety and the importance of only putting food in food containers. Youth will learn about accidental poisoning by taking a Look-A-Like test. Twelve pairs of look-a-likes in containers are provided, and youth decide which is edible vs. poison. Can be adapted to a relay game for younger participants.
