Six Age-Appropriate Books and Resources for Teaching Kids about COVID-19 - MindShift

Need help talking to kids about the coronavirus pandemic? Here are six age-appropriate books, videos and lesson plans that teachers and parents can use to help kids understand what's going on. 👇

Written by a social epidemiologist who studies how infectious diseases spread in human populations, this ebook pairs clean, bold design with kid-friendly language to explain COVID-19. When describing how the virus spreads, for example, Jones highlights the role of snot and spit in transmitting germs: “Those germs land on all sorts of things and stick there, sometimes for a few days. Door handles, tables, tablets, and pencils. Even sandwiches.

Jones also frankly addresses children’s emotions — “I know this all might seem really scary and you might want to panic. … It’s OK to feel whatever you are feeling” — before concluding with actionable guidance, such as “Don’t pick your nose!” and “Cocoon for a little while.” The book is appropriate for ages 6 and up and available for free as a PDF or epub file for e-readers.
