In this article, we present a proposal of classroom activities for Secondary Education (12-
16 years old) from COVID-19, based on a theoretical foundation on probability literacy. In
the first part, we describe knowledge that secondary education teachers must mobilize for
an adequate understanding of probability and, additionally, to promote probabilistic
literacy, considering the aim of probability and its relation to both descriptive and
inferential statistics. From this vision, the different approaches (intuitive, classic,
frequentist, subjective and axiomatic) that are included within the Probability Theory are
addressed. In the second part, four classroom experiences considering COVID-19 data are
presented to promote the acquisition of this knowledge. It is concluded that probabilistic
literacy, together with statistical and data literacy, contributes to train citizens with critical
thinking and, above all, aware of the role that each one plays in society and in global wellbeing
