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!

Kate, what a fantastic idea! Bubble blast handwashing sounds like a fun and effective way to encourage thorough scrubbing. Great job!
