ILCTE Lesson Infection Control Heroes

Online activity: this activity can be done at home or online without any adaptation

Activity Choice #3: Spread the disease (AKA “Glitter Herpes”) 1. You will pass around a ball from your teacher. You are going to pass this ball around to other students. Be prepared to answer these questions after this activity: a. Did you get the “herpes” infection on your hands? b. Where else were the “herpes” germs?

c. Did anyone NOT get the “herpes” germs on themself? How? d. If everyone in the class got the “herpes” germs on them, WHY? e. How did it spread? f. Where could the chain of infection be broken?

Coat a ball with glow germ (may need more than one ball). Have the students pass it around and handle the ball. When the students are done turn off the lights and use a black light to see where the germs have spread. Reinforce the infection chain. Ask students to identify the links associated with passing the glow germ ball around the class. 2. After finishing passing the ball around, when your teacher asks you, go wash your hands. a. What did you learn about handwashing? b. Did you personally do a good enough hand washing job to eliminate all the “herpes” germs? If yes, great! If not, why not? Online: Can mail students a small bit of glitter and ask them how the glitter spreads throughout the house —my students call this “Glitter Herpes.” Even a week later, unless they clean everyday fastidiously the glitter will find a way to hang around — just like a disease.

You will play the following 2 games: https://martin-jacob.itch.io/can-you-save-the-world https://wammoh.itch.io/corona-grocery-dash a. How did you feel when there were only a few people on the street and lots of masks? b. What did you feel when there were only a few masks but lots of people? c. Relate this to the chain of infection. Can be played in class or at home c. Your suggestions for improvement to protect yourself? Ask students again to show their hands under the black light.
