What are germs can ride on hands?

Germs can ride on hands like tiny invisible bugs that travel from one place to another.

Imagine your hand is like a bus, and germs are little passengers who hop on when you touch something. When you touch a doorknob, they get on the bus (your hand), and then you go to touch your face or eat a snack, and poof, they're off to new places!

• Germs are tiny living things that can make you feel sick.
• When you touch something with germs on it, like a toy or a table, some of them stick to your hand.
• Then, when you touch another object, like your eyes, nose, or mouth, the germs jump off and start new adventures in your body.

It’s like giving a germ a ride to school! If you don’t wash your hands, they can keep riding from place to place all day. But if you wash them with soap and water, it's like telling the germs, "Time for bed!", and they fall off and go away.
