Hints & tips

surfaces
Surfaces

The game also helps you encourage your kid not to touch outdoor surfaces like gates, benches, etc, which could be contaminated with COVID-19

masks
Masks

If you want your kid to wear a face mask (or they are confused/ worried by others wearing them), you may find it helpful to say that masks are magic car windscreens

practice
Practice

The younger your kid is, the longer it may take them to understand #OurMagicCar, however with a little time and encouragement, we hope they’ll soon get the idea

privacy
Privacy

You don’t need to share photos of your kid on social media unless you want to – the idea is only to share a photo of your kid’s badge using #OurMagicCar

Creativity

Want to go further? Rather than just wearing a badge/mask, your kid can bring a horn, dress up, wear a driver’s helmet and so on… the only limits to the game are the limits to their imagination

Frequently asked questions

1Why was #OurMagicCar created?
It was created in response to the UN’s global call out to creatives to help stop the spread of COVID-19. As getting too close to others increases everyone’s risk of getting COVID-19, we want to make it easy for parents to help young kids stay back without alarming them.
2Why is the distance 2 metres?
This is the World’s Health Organisation’s recommended minimum distance to stay back from others. If you are too close, you can breathe in small liquid droplets from other people’s coughs and sneezes, which could include the COVID-19 virus.
