Given that human diseases that viruses cause is close to the pupils based solely on their experience, it is possible to prepare a simulation of virus disease spread along with role play and simulation of process flow along with paper-cut elements. As it is desirable to devise a simulation in which the main actors of a person are close to the students, in this example for teaching there is a planned birthday party to which all classmates are invited. Students as active participants responded positively to this type of work, and some students encountered difficulties in calculating infection rates and graphing data obtained by virus spread simulation as well as explaining the results that were read out of the graph %K pupils aged 13 and 14 %K role play %K virus %K epidemic %K Vogralik's chain %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=315940
