Dengue

Danger

Game

If the teacher can arrange

resources these can be a pin

up game on the wall of the

classroom with one part of the

board being Dengue Safe, the

other part being Dengue

Danger.

Sort pictures of places and

things that are dengue safe or

foster dengue danger. E.g.

pictures of stagnant water

under various circumstances

represents dengue Danger,

Wearing long sleeved clothing

is Dengue safe.

Ask students to devise

Dengue Danger games for

the playground. How can

they adapt current games

they play to build dengue

awareness

Make a game out of it

according to teacher

convenience

Goal: To save the class

board from Dengue

Danger!

3 versions of the Dengue

Danger game here ——>

(i) giving each child one

picture and they pin it to the

right wall in a race format

where each row competes to

be first

(ii) Each child gets a chance

to individually post a picture

on the wall while the class

instantly calls out right or

wrong!

(iii) Make it a game about

dengue winning or losing - if

there are more Dengue

Danger pictures then students

must quickly find more

Dengue Safe Pictures to save

the class board from Danger!

Simple Version: Do this on the

blackboard. Divide the board into

two halves. Write out dengue

danger and dengue safe things as

students call it out. Make sure

Dengue Danger is beaten in this

race!

Students

For

Safety

Discussion - to calm the

class down after the activity

game and to create shared

purpose. Ask each student

to state how they will help

prevent dengue in their

neighbourhood.

(Give them a framework of

Read-Write-Tell-Share-Do

and add to it as they come

up with more ideas)

Design pamphlets to be

shared with neighbourhood

elders on fighting Dengue

Danger.

4-10

minsWhat Will You Do to

Fight Dengue Danger?

If you have little time, ask

them to write out their plan

to prevent Dengue in one

sentence

Write out Dengue

Prevention Slogan/Intention

If you have a bit of time, ask

each student to step up

(even sitting in one place is

ok) and state their plan to

fight Dengue

Own their

Dengue Prevention Plan-

Step up and state what

they will do

Share the dengue prevention

plan/picture of pamphlet via

SMS/Whatsapp with near and

dear friends. (Do not spam)

If you have a lot of time, you

could ask them to discuss it

in pairs for a few minutes

and then share their

resolution with the rest of

the class.

Discuss, agree actions they

can take to fight dengue,

decide actions, plan and

share

Local

Area

Impact

Create Dengue Safe and

Dengue Danger stickers

(paper and glue) and mark

out safe and dangerous

areas in your

neighbourhood or within the

school.

Emphasise application

of what has been

learnt and decided by

identifying Dengue

Danger in the

classroom, in the

school and in nearby

areas and how to turn

them into Dengue Safe

areas.

Divide class into 2-12

groups and allocate local

areas to audit

Conduct Local Area Audits

to identify Dengue Safe or

Dengue Danger Points

Speak to local authorities

and respectfully submit

audit results

e.g. identify and find

solutions to make school

toilets dry areas rather than

allow water to stagnate

where the floor is uneven.

e.g.Mosquitoes in the

classroom are a danger -

what can you do to make

the classroom mosquito free

- share and implement ideas

Track and review audit and

action. Repeat audit to

track changes.
