A circle will be made with the word clean written in it. Out of the whole class, 2 students will be separated and flashcards with the word germs written will be put around their necks. Those two students will become germs and the rest of the class will become hands. Students, who have become hands will be made to stand in the clean circle. When the game starts, the students who have become hands will come out of the circle and start running and then the teacher will ask the students, who have become germs to hold hands and run to catch the students who have become hands.
