Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Sort habits that prevent illness from risky ones, safe food and water from those that cause diarrhoea, mosquito breeding spots from non-breeding spots, and symptoms needing a doctor from ones manageable at home.
What's in the worksheet
4 sorting rounds, 2 baskets each - Prevents or spreads illness: frequent handwashing, sharing a cup, wearing a mask when ill, coughing in a friend's face - Safe or risky for the stomach: freshly cooked food, unreheated leftovers, bottled water, canal water - Mosquito breeding spot or not: water in a plant saucer, dry floor, old tyre with water, a covered water tank - See a doctor or care at home: high fever that will not go down, slightly blocked nose, trouble breathing, slight cough
How to use it in class
Use in the infectious disease unit, especially in the rainy season when dengue spreads; about 5 minutes. - Read the cards aloud first, then play in teams of 4-5 - Extend round 3 with a walk round the classroom or building looking for standing water - In round 4, stress that when unsure, children always tell an adult rather than decide alone - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Round 3: the covered water tank contains water, so children drag it to breeding spot on seeing the word; point out the lid stops mosquitoes laying eggs - Round 2: unreheated leftovers may not seem dangerous since families eat them; explain germs multiply overnight - Round 4: a slight cough and trouble breathing may seem the same; compare normal breathing with panting to show the difference
