  • Read “Germs Make Me Sick!” by Melvin Berger
  • Glitter Germs … Use glitter to talk about germs!
    1. Put some glitter on a plate or sprinkle on the table.
    2. Have your preschooler put both hands down in the glitter. Look how much sticks to your hands!
    3. Now shake hands with your preschooler, then shake hands with everyone else.
    4. Have the kids look at their hands. Everyone has glitter on their hands now! This is similar to how germ can spread.
    5. Have the kids try to wipe it off, just using their hands.It's very hard to do.
    6. Let them know there is good news! We can wash our hands to get rid of germs. Let the kids wash their glittery hands with soap & water. It comes right off.
    7. I have my kids sing the ABC song while they wash their hands so they know how long to wash.
    8. Explain how germs stay on our hands unless we wash them with soap & water.

  • Going on a Germ Hunt
    1. Print out several “germs” (above from Microsoft Clipart). You could use anything. I like that this one is a green germ but he’s pretty grumpy looking.
    2. Hide them around the room.
    3. Give the kids bubbles (have you seen the no spill bubble bottles?! Love them)
    4. Have them hunt for germs. When they see one, blow bubbles at it!
    5. another option…
      • Draw faces on several plastic lids with permanent marker.
      • Color all over the faces with green or brown dry erase markers.
      • As the kids find them, have them drop the germs into a sink of bubbly water. Then let them scrub the germs clean. (The dry erase marker will come right off with a little scrubbing!)
