How Elbows can prevent the flu

I learned this nifty trick from some pretty astute and experienced pre-school teachers. Instead of teaching children to cough and sneeze into their hands, teach them to turn their heads and sneeze or cough into the inside of their elbows. 

Brilliant! 

This helps prevent them from spreading germs to their hands which they’re much more likely to use to swipe across other people or other surfaces than their elbows. 

There’s also a nifty soap out there, Squid Soap that helps teach children and grown ups how to wash their hands for 90 seconds. Here’s a video.
