    Using multiple different songs or games could help in hand washing. Personally, I like to show them how to make bubbles with their fingers, and in the process showing them the harder you scrub, the more bubbles you can make. Using a favorite song, can also be useful.

    We do a thing in our classroom called bubble blast handwashing. Add a drop of kid-friendly soap to each of their hands and challenge them to create as many bubbles as they can while washing. They’ll love the bubbly excitement, and it ensures they’re scrubbing thoroughly. Plus, who doesn’t love bubbles? It’s a win-win!
