BAM! Body and Mind

Staying healthy is something that's important to all of us. BAM! is a website for kids with facts and information on physical fitness, illnesses, nutrition, stress, and other health-related issues.

Kids will enjoy the interactive features, such as an Activity Calendar for kid to create their own fitness plan, and the Game Room, with many different games and quizzes.

Grownups will appreciate the Teacher's Corner, with classroom activities and related materials.

BAM! was created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Should your child stay home?

Wash Your Hands!

The CDC and the Allen County Flu Task Force have some good suggestions for all of us. We should always remind children to:

• Cover their nose and mouth with a tissue when they cough or sneeze—have them throw the tissue away after they use it.
• Wash their hands often with soap and water, especially after they cough or sneeze. If water is not near, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
• Remind them to not to touch their eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs often spread this way!

Let's All Work Together to Stay Healthy!
