Teach kids before flu season what they can do to keep themselves and others safe. Use games, songs and other tools to teach basic skills like proper hand washing:
• use warm soap and water and wash thoroughly for at least 20 seconds
• remember between the fingers and on the backs of the hands
• dry hands completely and throw the paper towel in the trash (after using it to open the door)

Kids can also learn how to sneeze correctly: into tissues, of course, or into their elbows or even down their shirts – this is better than sneezing into the air or into their hands and then touching things. Wash hands or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer afterward.

Take the fear and threat out of flu exposure and help kids learn positive, empowering and sharable skills.
