One of the best ways to prevent the spread of a flu or cold is to wash your hands.

The Kid Scoop Foundation provides downloadable and printable activity pages that help kids understand the simple steps they can take to reduce their risk of infection.

We are offering free of charge the Kid Scoop "Germ Patrol" activity pages to families, newspapers, schools, youth organizations, medical offices and more. As long as you are distributing the page at no charge, you are welcome to use it!

The page focuses on the importance of regular hand washing, explains how germs and bacteria are spread and how infections attack healthy cells in the body. This information is presented with engaging, standards-based educational activities and enhanced with follow-up material and related links.
