Talking Germs

We asked our students to pretend they were germs and report back to us about what kinds of things happen in the germ world. Here are the conversations they told us they had:

Wing Lam N., 9, HKGUA Primary School

 

Me: Where do you think we should hide?

Chewy: Let’s go into people’s bodies and make them sick.

Spiky: But how?

Flying Bullet: Fly into their mouths.

Me: No, let’s hide in that food. Then, people will eat the food and we will be inside their bodies.

All Germs: Good idea!

Jasmine Y., 9, CDNIS 

I said, “Hi, why don’t we go down to the germ playground in Germ Land?” My friend said, “Sure! I’m happy to go there.” So we headed down to germ playground and we went on the swings. I said, “Isn’t this a sunny day? I think it will be a good time swinging.” My friend agrees. Germs talk basically about good and bright things.

Jiawen W., 8, Chek Kiang

Me: Should we play games?

Germ: Yes!

Me: What shall we play?

Germ: Let’s play hide-and-seek!

Me: Ooh la la!

Nok Yan C., 9, DGS

Me: What is your name?

Germs: I am Sports Germ, and he is Talent Germ, and she is Sleepy Germ. We’re good for human beings.

Me: I want to be a good germ too!

Germs: We can’t help you.
