If you don't wash your hands after going to the toilet, you can get germs everywhere. If you don't believe us, try this fun activity! In it, we're going to use flour to represent germs.

You must have a grown-up to help you with this experiment. Otherwise, you'll end up with flour all over the place and whoever does the cooking in your house will wonder where all their flour went! It's a good idea not to wear dark clothes for this experiment.

You will need:

Flour (it doesn't matter what kind)
A plate
Some friends

	Put some flour onto a plate. Take it outside. (It’s best not to do this on a windy day).
	Ask a friend to put his or her hand into the flour.
	Your friend with the floury hand shakes hands with the rest of you.
	Now you all shake hands with each other.
	By the end of it you should all have flour on your hands. Imagine if that flour was germs! You would all have your friend’s germs!

Try scratching your nose or eating a snack during the experiment to see where else that flour goes. Up your nose, into your mouth – not good places for germs to be!
