• They can cause . . . Diarrhea Nausea Belly pain
How can you get germs?
Touching •We can get germs from touching:–Friends–Sink–Desks–Pencil Sharpener–Books–Door Handles–Computers
Air
•We can catch germs from sneezing and coughing. •Germs are invisible and fly through the air. When someone doesn’t cover their mouth all those germs
fly through the air.
Germ Activity
•Germs are invisible but they can make us very sick. •I am going to show you how germs travel. •I will put talcum powder in my hand. Achoo!!!! •What just happened? The way that the talcum powder flew through the air is the same way that your invisible germs fly through the air.
How can you stay germ free?
Proper Hand Washing
When Should You Wash Your Hands?
Hands should be washed after using thetoilet, after playing with pets, before
preparing or eating food, after sneezing orcoughing and any other times your hands
may become contaminated by germs.
Follow these simple steps every time you wash your hands:
• Turn on the warm water.• Put your hands under the warm water.• Apply soap to hands and lather.• Rub and scrub hands for 20 seconds.
(Remember the palms, backs of hands, between fingers, under finger nails, and wash your wrists )
• Rinse your hands and send the bubbles and germs down the drain.
• Dry your hands with a paper towel.• Use the towel to close the water faucets to prevent
getting germs back on your hands.
