Germs are tiny little living things called microorganisms
that are all around us. If theyre always
around us, why dont we see them floating
everywhere? (Take answers.)
You already know a lot, but theres one thing that
might surprise you- not all germs are bad. We know
that some germs are bad because they make us sick,
like the germs for the chicken pox, common cold,
and the flu. These are the most famous bad germs.
But, some germs are good!
Good germs can help us fight off disease and
sickness. Did you know that there are germs, or
bacteria, that live inside your body to keep your body
working? Thats right- those are germs that we
need!

from eating the right food, having enough rest and exercise, and paying regular visits to
your doctor and dentist, you should also know how to keep your body clean. Here are
other good health habits or ways to stay healthy. Look at the first picture. What is the boy
doing? Do you take a bath every day? How do you feel after taking a bath? Bathing with a
mild soap washes away the dirt and germs that grow and live on our skin. A clean skin
does not easily get infected with germs. What is the first way to stay healthy? I have

can easily get dirty. We use them to touch anything. We must wash our hands after using the
toilet, after handling things and before we eat. What is the second way to stay healthy?

Look at the third picture. What is the boy doing? Do you brush your teeth? How many of
you have had a toothache? Is it a good or a bad feeling? Toothache can be avoided by
brushing our teeth. Do not eat too much sweet food. Eat fruits which are rich in calcium
and vitamins. What is the third way to stay healthy? Here is another picture. What is the
girl doing? Do you trim your nails? Trim your nails regularly. Long nails can be the
hiding place of germs. They live in the dirt under the nails. Trim your fingernails and
toenails regularly. Young children should keep them short. What is the third way to stay

expose your eyes to bright light. Have enough light when reading or writing. Do not rub
your eyes with dirty hands or towel. What is the fifth way to stay healthy? C.
