By giving answers out loud, not only are they showing and reinforcing what they've learned, but it helps the other girls get ideas and further understand the meaning of being respectful and creating supportive atmospheres.

The girls will see that if they sneeze into their hand and don't wash, this is how easy it is for germs to be spread to everyone.
