Every child has the right to the best possible health.

Different leaders of countries around the world have made promises to help people to stay clean and healthy and have access to clean, safe drinking water.

 Talk to your partner and ask them what are germs? 

Germs are tiny, tiny living things (called micro-organisms) that can make us feel poorly.
They are so small we can’t see them. The only way we can see them is by looking at them under a microscope.

Germs can get into our bodies, but we don’t know about it until we may start to feel ill. That’s why we have to be really careful that we protect ourselves and others, so that we don’t spread germs. 

They can spread through the air (when someone coughs, sneezes, or sings). They can land on surfaces – like your toys or door handles - and then spread to people who touch them. 

Germs can also spread through bad food or dirty water.

If you cough or sneeze, use a tissue and wash your hands because you might have germs, and you don’t want to spread the germs or other people might become ill.

If you don’t wash your hands, that’s the reason why germs spread. And don’t pick your nose or this will spread germs.

Always wash your hands when you go to the toilet. And if you touch something that’s dirty, wash your hands.
