TRICK-OR-TREAT FOR UNICEF OFFERS NEW TEACHING RESOURCES

In recent years, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has evolved from the traditional door-to-door collection on Halloween night into a month-long, nationwide education campaign. Participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF offers children the opportunity to learn about the world around them, and the important role they can have in changing the world.

This year, the campaign is offering a number of new resources that will help students, teachers and parents fulfill the educational mission of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. These include:
* A new Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF 2004 Video illustrating UNICEF’s accomplishments in the world’s poorest countries and the simple things students can do to help UNICEF change the world for the better (appropriate for all ages, runtime 9 minutes)
* An array of service-learning lesson plans combining meaningful service with academic learning for students at every grade level through a wide array of fundraising activities
* The 2004 Trick-or-Treat Volunteer Handbook providing students, teachers and parents the information necessary to talk to any audience about the campaign
* Expanded educational resources in Spanish offering the same opportunities for service and learning to Spanish speakers

Last year’s Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign raised $4 million for children around the globe. Students, parents and teachers all across the country participated in the campaign, and their donations helped UNICEF provide children in 158 countries and territories with necessities like medicine, clean water, food and an education.
