    I like using the ABC song, this gives enough time for the amount of time that ones needs to scrub the soap all over their hands.

    You can do fun activities like singing their favorite song and use different cute little soaps.

    Making handwashing fun with foaming soaps, singing songs, or reward systems are a great way to get children interested in handwashing and doing so properly!

    I think a cool activity would be to play, maybe like 30 seconds of music, they could wash their hands to that would keep them focused. Or create a mini song the others can sing while one washes their hands.

    I have found that singing the ABC song has helped children wash their hands longer.

    <ul data-start=”700″ data-end=”855″> We can sing songs while washing like “Twinkle Twinkle” or “Baby Shark” and create handwashing lyrics. This ensures they wash for at least 20 seconds while having fun Bubble challenge game: who can make more bubbles? We can use a foamy soap or colorful hand soap for extra visual fun.colorful sand timer or a digital countdown app with lights or sounds <b data-start=”862″ data-end=”897″>

    I can make hand washing a fun activity for children by singing a fun song, making sure they know why they are washing their hands (I am almost positive there is a good picture book out there) and we can also use fun colors in soap.
