Hi there! Today, we’re going on a fun adventure to a place called Germ Park. Are you ready? Let’s go!
We arrived at Boo-Boo Land, and it’s time to have some fun! We can swim and play all day. But remember, when you’re done playing, it’s important to wash your hands to keep the germs away!
Guess what? We brought lots of yummy food for a picnic, like donuts, sandwiches, and lollipops. But if any food falls on the ground, we shouldn’t eat it because it might have germs. Let’s keep our food clean and safe!
Did you know that germs love to travel? They can fly and land on things like flowers and honeycombs. So, if a fly lands on your food, it’s best to throw it away to stay healthy.
We have some tasty corn soup, but be careful because it’s hot! Before eating, let it cool down. Remember, hot things can hurt, so always be careful with hot food and water.
Inside our tummies, there are good germs and bad germs. Eating too much candy and chips can make the bad germs strong. But eating fruits, vegetables, milk, and yogurt helps the good germs win and keeps us healthy!
When you need to use the restroom, it’s important to focus and not play with toys or eat snacks. After you’re done, remember to flush and wash your hands to keep them clean!
Germs love dirty places, so we need to wash our hands often. After playing, using the restroom, or before eating, wash your hands with soap and water. This helps take the germs away and keeps us healthy!
By washing our hands, eating healthy foods, and being careful with hot things, we can stay healthy and have lots of fun. Let’s go out and play now!
Germ Detective Game: Let’s become germ detectives! Look around your classroom or home and find places where germs might be hiding. Use a magnifying glass or just your eyes to spot places like doorknobs, toys, or the floor. After you find them, practice washing your hands together to make sure those germs go away. Can you think of other places where germs might hide?
Healthy Food Sorting: Let’s play a sorting game with food! Gather some pictures of different foods or use toy food items. Sort them into two groups: foods that help the good germs in our tummies (like fruits and vegetables) and foods that might make the bad germs strong (like candy and chips). Talk about why it’s important to eat more of the good foods. Can you think of a healthy meal you would like to eat?
Handwashing Song and Dance: Create a fun handwashing song and dance! Use a simple tune and make up words about washing hands with soap and water. Practice singing and dancing while pretending to wash your hands. This will help you remember to wash your hands often. Can you teach your song and dance to a friend or family member?
