Germs can make us sick. Even if our hands look clean, we need to wash them before we handle or eat food, because we may have germs on them. We also need to keep the places where we prepare or eat food clean. Using soap when we wash our hands and our dishes helps remove dirt and kill germs.
Students simulate preparing snacks.
Have students play Simon Says, taking turns being the leader. Reflect, summarize and discuss. Review the importance of keeping hands and surfaces that come in contact with food clean.
