Sample questions

A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.

  1. What does the FDA mark on a product mean?

    • It has been checked by the Thai FDA
    • It is guaranteed to cure disease
    • It is made in Thailand
    Read the explanation

    The product has been checked by the Food and Drug Administration.

  2. What about a product with no FDA number?

    • Buy it if a friend recommends it
    • Do not buy it
    • Buy it if it is cheap
    Read the explanation

    Do not buy it - its safety has not been checked.

  3. What should you do if something you bought is not up to standard?

    • Post a complaint about the shop on social media
    • Buy from another shop next time
    • Keep the receipt and file a complaint

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Become a smart health consumer: know what the FDA (อย.) mark means, avoid products without an FDA number, complain properly about poor goods, remember the 1166 consumer hotline, reject exaggerated ads, and ask a professional before buying supplements.

What's in the worksheet

6 multiple-choice questions, 3 options each - The FDA mark means the product has been checked (distractor: guaranteed to cure) - No FDA number: do not buy - Poor-quality goods: keep the receipt and complain (distractor: post a complaint about the shop on social media) - The consumer protection hotline is 1166 - Do not believe 'cures everything' ads; consult a doctor or pharmacist before buying supplements

How to use it in class

Use in the consumer unit; about 6 minutes. - Before playing, have each group find the FDA mark on a real snack packet or water bottle - For question 3, role-play: one child is a customer with a faulty item, another is the shop assistant - For question 6, discuss why most children need no supplements if they eat all the food groups - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Question 1: children see the FDA mark on Thai goods so often they think it means made in Thailand, and 'guaranteed to cure' tempts those who have seen it on supplements - Question 4: 191 and 199 are familiar, so children guess them; 1166 is new to them - Question 6: 'read reviews from people who used it' is what adults at home do, so children pick it - Question 3: 'buy from another shop next time' sounds calm and trouble-free
