Lots of little kids love to give and get hugs, high fives and other affectionate greetings, but right now it’s not the safest thing to do.
At my daughter’s school they do “air hugs” and “air high fives” to encourage and support each other without physical contact.
Younger kids might like a few more ideas for how they can greet friends and teachers without touch, and this great little printable book from 3 Dinosaurs can help.
It shows kids in masks saying hi in different ways, including waving, winking, peace sign and toe tap.
Print and assemble to book and kids can color, read, and learn how to spread kindness, not germs.
