The project is a large interactive game for children from 3 to 8 years old. The game teaches children the necessity of washing hands and gives a general idea about why it could be dangerous not to do this. A playing field is a boy who washes his hands seldom. A child plays with microbe figures. The main aim of the game is to get from dirty hands to a mouth, an eye or to skin scratches. Players chose microbes and move them by throwing a dice. For children at the age of 3 this is enough, for the older ones it is more complicated. The creature for the game is chosen by pulling on the off chance a card, on which an image of the each microbe and a short educational information is provided. The germs differ among each other - there are extremely harmful (e.g. vibrio cholera), moderate harmful (e.coli, helmints etc.) or not harmful at all (most of them - amoebae, dust particles etc). 
 
The game now is a part of permanent collection of The Moscow State K.A.Timiryazev Biology Museum.
