Introduction

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 in "immunise" the Brownies against two of the three diseases. 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!
