Germ Busters! Clean Hands, Healthy Bodies.
The Challenge Are you ready to become real-life Germ Busters? This May, we’re going on a fun and foamy adventure to fight off those sneaky germs and stay healthy! First, we’re rolling up our sleeves and building our very own Hand Washing Stations right at our Spots. Imagine creating a “Tippy Tap” that makes washing hands feel like a fun game every day! We’ll decorate them with bright colours and fun designs, making them the coolest handwashing stations ever! Then, we’re going to unleash our musical talents by creating a super catchy “Germ Buster Song!”. This song will remind everyone just how important it is to wash hands the right way. You can sing about scrubbing those hands, washing away the germs, and making it a habit that’s as fun as dancing! Let’s make it the best handwashing anthem ever! And for the final twist, we’re turning into little scientists with an exciting Germ Experiment! We’ll use some glitter or pepper to see how germs spread and watch them disappear with the power of soap and water. It’s a magical experiment that shows how we can beat those germs every time! Let’s get ready to bust the germs and stay healthy.
What The Challenge are you to do?
1 Build a Handwashing Station
Create your very own hand washing station in your Spot! You can make a cool Tippy Tap using an empty plastic bottle and some string. A Tippy Tap is a simple, handsfree device used for washing hands, especially in areas without running water. With just a little soap and water, you’ll have a special place to keep your hands clean. But here’s the best part: you get to decorate it! Use bright colours, fun drawings, or even stickers to make your handwashing station look amazing and exciting to use.
