The Cooties Game
Come here kids and listen
We're gonna play a game
It's just like tag, a little
And Covid is it's name
The whole wide world is playing
It's a simple game to play
Everyone has cooties
The idea is stay away
The game has no time limit
It may last a month or more
You can win it if you listen
That's what this poem is for
You don't want the cooties
You don't want to be it
The idea is keep your distance
This game may take a bit
One way to block the cooties
From getting in your space
Wash your hands like we do
And do not touch your face
You don't know who has cooties
Who is it and who is not
So, stay close like we tell you
And then you won't get caught
This game is really something
I'll tell you when it's done
Just follow my instructions
And we'll keep on having fun
So, one, two, three...we're playing
Don't let the cooties in your space
Wash your hands like I do
And do not touch your face
how to explain the Covid-19 to little kids without scaring them
