Introduction
This activity will teach your Brownies how the spread of disease and infection can be stopped

Instructions
Germ Free
Choose 3 Brownies to be germs.

Identify them with different coloured stickers e.g. measles = red label; whooping cough=blue label; polio= green label

Brownies in their Sixes

Give the Sixers a selection of dots and tell them to "immunise" the Brownies against two of the three diseas. The Sixers give out 2 different coloured sticky dots to each Brownie. The dots are to be kept in the closed palm of a hand.

The germs chase the Brownies.

When a germ catches a Brownie, the Brownie shows her hand. If she has the right colour she is free. If she does not have the right colour she is "dead" e.g. if a measles germ (red label) catches a Brownies who is immunised against measles i..e. she has a red sticky dot, she is free to go. If she has no immunisation then she dies!
