The DVD follows two students that get sick and miss school.

• Later they talk about everyday habits to prevent getting sick.

•  Using special glasses they are transported to the germ world!

• In their world, the germs talk about what they like to do best:
  make kids sick!

• Finally the germs teach kids how to WHACK the Flu.

• The DVD has two sing-a-long songs for kids to practice
  handwashing at their seats for about 30 seconds, including
  an original song sung to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

Wash, wash, wash your hands

With soap every day!

Rub and scrub and scrub and rub,

Germs go down the drain!

• After "WHACKing the Flu" an optional activity teaching kids hands that look clean to the naked eye
  might actually be covered in germs!
• Using UV light reactive lotion, students shake hands and pass "germs" to each other. 
• The special lotion rubs into skin so it is invisible in regualr light.  But under the "germ light" hands
  that seemed clean glow bright blue with the "germ lotion!"
• Next the students should wash their hands for at least 30 seconds with warm, soapy water.
• After this, they return to the "germ light" to inspect how well they washed off the “germs.”
