The Basics in Staying Healthy. Stop Spreading Germs!

A-CHOOOOO. And there go my germs as I demonstrate with powder how germs, realistically too tiny to see, can spread with a cough or a sneeze.

A roomful of ‘germs’ as kids use the powder while pretending to sneeze and cough.

With a handful of germs, we touch each other, shake hands, pick up every day objects…

like pencils….

and touch door handles.

The germs we pick up then enter through our mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and voila we are sick.

So how do we stop spreading germs?

We teach the kids to cough and sneeze into their elbows – thereby keeping ones germs to oneself.

It’s going to take practice, but we have many months together to make a habit of it.

Practicing sneezing and coughing into our elbows instead of spreading germs to others.
