• EXPLAIN: Today, we’re going to repurpose some songs to help people remember some important guidelines of the virus and to just let off some steam.

EXPLORE:

• ASK: What are some steps you should take to combat corona?
  • Stay 6+ feet away from people not in your household.

  • Avoid touching your face.
  • Avoid unnecessary trips outside of your house (exercise is ok!).
