- Read “Germs Make Me Sick!” by Melvin Berger
- Glitter Germs … Use glitter to talk about germs!
- Put some glitter on a plate or sprinkle on the table.
- Have your preschooler put both hands down in the glitter. Look how much sticks to your hands!
- Now shake hands with your preschooler, then shake hands with everyone else.
- Have the kids look at their hands. Everyone has glitter on their hands now! This is similar to how germ can spread.
- Have the kids try to wipe it off, just using their hands.It's very hard to do.
- 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.
- I have my kids sing the ABC song while they wash their hands so they know how long to wash.
- Explain how germs stay on our hands unless we wash them with soap & water.
- Going on a Germ Hunt
- 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.
- Hide them around the room.
- Give the kids bubbles (have you seen the no spill bubble bottles?! Love them)
- Have them hunt for germs. When they see one, blow bubbles at it!
- 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!)
- Practice writing Gs with a green crayon, marker or colored pencil! Try these awesome free printable tracing sheets from Confessions of a Homeschoolers. Click here to download.
snack idea: plain yogurt with green sugar sprinkles mixed in
THAT IS THE WORST PICTURE EVER (with the kiddo & the green glitter). You know how much I HATE glitter...gives me the heebie jeebies!
