Fostering Cleanliness through Everyday Moments

[Kathryn]

I always sing the wash your hands song with the children and explain why we wash our hands. We talk about germs and why we need to wash the away before we eat and after we come inside from the outdoors. We have pictures of children washing their hands and steps printed out and posted on every sink with a song to go along with it.

A Clean-Up Scavenger Hunt would be something I would do. This will turn tidying up into a game by creating a scavenger hunt for items that need to be put away. First use colorful bins or labeled containers for different items and assign points for each successfully returned item.
