Germs!

Here at the Academy of Gateway we are about being healthy and safe. We talk about germs being all around us. We talk about what they are and what they can do. We have posters of how to wash your hands around just as reminders whenever the children are doing their everyday activities. We have lots of activities we do with the children so they can get a visual as well. 

Here are some fun activities you can try at home

• Cover foam letters with sprinkles or flour to make them "dirty. Tell your child that the letters are covered in germs. What do you do to get all the germs off?
• Cover the child's hand in glitter. Have the children use different colors of glitter then shake hands and see how fast glitter germs can spread.
