Introduction (what the teacher says to students before the event in individual classrooms):

​

• Tell class that soon there will be a COVID-19 info fair and that it will be a really fun way to learn about the virus and the impacts on everyone.

• Ask the class to talk about what they know about COVID/what it is with their neighbor or their table group, and share with the class.

• Correct anything if blatantly wrong during the discussion.

 

At the Event: 

​

• Provide a brief overview of what COVID-19 is, how it moves, the impacts of it. Stress that if you are sick you should stay home

• Separate the students into groups that will rotate between stations and have everyone go to their first station. 

 

The stations are as follows: 

• DIY masks/decorate face masks. During this station explain how masks work.

• Create a do's and don'ts of COVID-19 matching game and have students play it. Then answer any questions they have about this. 

• Do a map activity showing where there is a lot of COVID-19 and explain what makes it worse in some areas. This may be showing cities or policies, but do a brief introduction to this. 

• Brainstorm a list of how to have fun and stay safe during the pandemic. Pass out bookmarks with some of these ideas. 

• Have a hand washing station where the students put their hands under a blue light to see if their washing was effective.

​

• After the students conclude their stations. Return to the main room and facilitate a group discussion about what the students learned and how they will apply it in the future.
