Get Silly Use coloring utensils from your home or your included paint to design your germ mask. Once your mask has dried, put it on and get ready for a dance party! Adults, head to www.kidsnightinbox.com/adios-germs and play the Spotify playlist. Tell your little one(s) to pretend to be a germ moving around while the music is playing but to freeze when you stop the music and pretend to be a germ being attacked by soap and water. Keep doing this to create a very fun, silly version of the freeze dance.
