Fun and Creative Handwashing Ideas for Kids: Making Hygiene a Playful Adventure
-
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!

In a previous center I’ve worked in we had a handwashing song, to the tune of row row your boat that went like, “wash wash wash your hands, soap will make them clean…” that the kids liked, sometimes if they saw me washing my hands without singing the song they would remind me I’m supposed to sing!

I can make handwashing a fun and exciting activity for kids by making a game out of how many bubbles they can make with their hands. We can sing a fun song to hand our hands to in the right amount of time. I can also model how to wash hands to the other kids waiting in line.
