Sing a Song
You already know that washing your hands is important to be healthy! Here is a song about GERMS!
The G-E-R-M-S Song
(Tune: Frère Jacques)
Are you coughing?
Are you sneezing?
Cover your mouth,
Cover your mouth.
Germs are always flying,
Germs are always flying.
Wash your hands.
Wash your hands.
Watch!
Germs! Sid the Science Kid
Try This!
Let your child make his or her own pretend first-aid kit for dramatic play with paper box, cotton balls, Q-tips, popsicle sticks, and cut-up gauze (or toilet paper.)
