Hello everybody!

In this link, you can see the importance of washing your hands- always!

https://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/proper-handwashing-an-animation

(at the bottom of the video you can activate the subtitles).

If you have younger brothers and sisters, you may want to do this experiment with them, to show them how important it is to wash our hands ( you can also activate the subtitles):

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho0o7H6dXSU

You should tell them that the pepper represents the virus, and the dishwasher liquid represents the soap we use when we wash our hands.

I also found this video that explains very well the difference between fact and opinion:
