Fostering Cleanliness through Everyday Moments

We sings songs while washing our hands and I have posters about good hygiene. I will let the kids help at washing the table after lunch and then I will sanitize the table. We also wash out hands when coming in for outside play, when they arrive

I would show them the Practical Life action of washing their hands and setting the table adequately. It is pleasant when everything is neat and clean.

I used to sing the “Clean Up” song in different languages. They thought it was very fun and at the same time, they would automatically clean with be, while trying to sing the song.
-
We have photos of different kids practicing each step of proper hand washing in every bathroom and most class rooms. It helps the kids to understand the importance of washing while seeing familiar faces. We also sing songs in the younger classes.
-
To help the kids learn about cleanliness I have them help me wash the tables after snack times! They each get a square of paper towel and they get to help me wash. After everyone has helped me wash the tables, they then wash their hands while I properly wash and sanitize the table. Even if I am rewashing the table the kids are still learning the basic start of being clean and how we should respect our tables.
-
I had the kids make posters, customized and personalized on washing hands. Then I had them present it to the rest of us. We use them as reminders in the bathroom and I switch out the posters weekly.

Sprinkle a little glitter on children’s hands and ask them to shake hands or touch toys.Show them how the “germs” spread everywhere.Then, let them wash their hands and notice that only soap and water get the glitter off.Set a timer and challenge kids to clean a specific area before the buzzer. Add music to make it a “Clean-Up Dance Party.” Praise teamwork and neatness, not just speed.

We use a diagram and sing songs to helps us wash hands properly. We also read books around the topic of germs to foster the importance of washing hands and having safe healthy bodies.

It can be helpful to use fun shapes for soap to attract children to wash their hands.

<strong data-start=”251″ data-end=”271″>Handwashing Song – Teach kids a short song (like to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle”) that lasts 20 seconds to make handwashing fun and memorable.
-
I use fun, hands on activities to make cleanliness lessons engaging. For example, I let children draw “germs” on paper and talk about how washing hands gets rid of them. I also use songs and timers while washing hands so they scrub long enough, turning it into a playful game. Another favorite is a “clean up race” where children wipe tables or put toys away, learning that cleaning can be fun while practicing responsibility and teamwork.
-
I use the clean up challenge where kids race to put away dishes and wipe tables. I also do germs spread ewww activities with glitter to show how germs spread. These make learning about cleanliness fun and hands-on.

I would consider sprinkling glitter on a child’s hands and explaining that it symbolizes invisible germs. I would then encourage them to attempt to wash the glitter off with water, demonstrating its ineffectiveness. Following this, I would guide them to use soap and scrub for twenty seconds, allowing them to observe how the glitter, representing germs, is thoroughly removed.
-
We sing a clean-up song when it is time to put the toys away. We sing that everybody, everywhere should clean up. This gets all the kids involved in putting the toys away in the class.
