Germ Demonstration

How germs are spread

Items needed:
Door knob or table
Clear packing tape
Glitter (germs)
Access to a sink, soap, water


Lesson – Ask children how they think germs get from one person to another. Show how germs can be passed from one person to another by touching surfaces by wrapping a door knob with clear tape (sticky side out) Take glitter (germs) and sprinkle glitter on the tape. Let the children take turns and grab the door knob. Some of the “germs” will stick to their hands. When all the children have had a turn, show them how washing their hands can help stop spread of germs.
