Yes, you need to use special protective glasses when looking at the sun. No worries though, there are other methods to view the eclipse. Here are a few ideas.
PINHOLE CAMERA - NASA has project instructions for making a pinhole camera and links to several videos showing a variety of materials to make the cameras.
PASTA COLANDER/NOODLE DRAINER - Every hole in the colander will act a pinhole camera. This cool thing is everyone will see hundreds of little sun shadows!
VIDEO SIMULATION - NASA has a video simulation that is guaranteed to be eye-safe. This is a good alternative if there is bad weather and/or not in the path of the eclipse. Click on the gear in the YouTube video to set a slower playback speed.
