GERM TAG Explain to the students that germs can be anywhere and they are so small that we can’t see them. In order to get all the germs off their hands they need to wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

GERM TAG Students will start in their own personal space. At one end of the gym you will set up two mats standing on there side. One mat will be the boys bathroom and the other the girls bathroom. Germ carriers will start in the center circle (quarantine). When the music starts germ carriers will tag other students with either a noodle or a ball. If a student is infected they must go to the bathroom and wash their hand while singing either the ABC’s or Happy Birthday to themselves. When they are finished they may return to the playing area.

Doctor Dash Students will start in personal space. On one end of the gym you will have a space set aside as the pharmacy. On the other end of the gym you will have a space set up as a hospital. There will be two types of taggers. One set of taggers will have a noodle (common cold). The other set of taggers will have a ball and they will be strep throat (bacterial disease). If a student is tagged by the noodle they will go straight to the pharmacy and get some non-prescription medication (10 Jumping Jacks). If they get tagged by the ball they will have to go to the hospital where you will be the doctor handing out exercise prescription cards.
