With 2.6 billion people lacking basic sanitation and over one billion of the world's population still using unsafe drinking water, this resource is an interesting and fun way to teach students about the importance of having clean water and good sanitation available globally.

The resource looks at germs and diseases that are caused by untreated water and bad sanitation, the importance of hygiene and lots of fun activities, including for making water safer and making solutions for rehydrating the body!

And that's only the start...  Check out this resource for lots more information, facts, interesting pictures and games that will have students take a pro-active interest in good hygiene and water conservation.  Let's start!
