Hand washing for kids activity sheet
This is a really simple hand washing activity for kids – just get them to cut out the pictures of each stage and put them in order. You can then talk about the activity together at home or in the classroom, so that you have explained how to make sure that children wash their hands as thoroughly as possible.

What are germs?
This is a lovely little activity sheet that helps you to explain what germs are, what they can, and what they cannot do to children, and then get them to write about it.

Germ patterns worksheet
Cut out the germs at the bottom of the page, and match them to the correct pattern on the rest of the worksheet.

This is a great little task for pattern recognition, as well as fine motor / cutting skills.
Germ quiz for kids
This is a lovely little germ quiz for kids with just a few simple questions about germs to help them understand them a little bit more:
- Do germs make us sick?
- Can you see germs?
- Where are germs found?
- And finally, what can we do to help prevent germs from spreading?

Germ coloring page
We couldn’t have germ activities for kids without including a germ coloring page could we. We have made this a little bit of a Covid-19 coloring page really, we admit; but that kind of seemed to be appropriate really.

Tracing is an important part of pencil control, so we have a few germ relating tracing ideas for you here. Do check out our pencil control workbook as well.
What can you do to keep your room germ free
Really simple worksheet to get kids to think about what can be done to keep their rooms germ free, and help prevent the spread of germs.

Color matching is such a fun and simple activity for kids, and helps them to learn their colors from an early age. Get them to match the color to the germ on this worksheet. They can, of course, if they are a little older, write and name the colors too.

That is a total of 8 germ activities for kids for you to try out with your class or your kids. These are suitable for early years / kindergarten, and elementary school really. We hope you have fun with them all, and the children learn too.
