Creating a handwashing song is always a good thing I think also creating a visual activity = having little clouds that function as bacteria taped on gloves and offer some type of process that simulates water so the kids can see what is happening and experience it for themselves similar to a game

Singing a song is what i’ve found makes handwashing way more fun!

<strong data-start=”580″ data-end=”612″>Planting seeds in clear cups so children can observe root growth over time.

singing a song about hand washing, putting a tune with it so they are engaged and not seeing it as a task.

I like singing a song to make handwashing more fun and to help them remember how long to wash hands.

Creating a fun song to ding while the kids scrub their hands with soap!

[Minsuh Chun]

making kids sing songs (it can be snippets of their favorite songs) make activities like hand washing much more fun (from my experience)!

[Yolanda Vidal]

WE chose a specific song for children to engage, while washing hands. For older children we count to 20.

[Sage]

there are solutions that allow you to see how well you washed your hands under UV and the kids love it

[Merjen]

I make handwashing fun by singing songs like “Happy Birthday” or “ABC” while we wash our hands. Kids love the bubbles and colorful soap. Sometimes we pretend we’re washing away “germs monsters,” and it makes them laugh and want to do it again.

[Tanisha]

Put pepper in a plate of water and show kids how soap pushes the pepper away. This can reinforce the importance of using soap when you was your hands.

[Grace Van Blaricom]

I always find that singing a catchy song helps with making handwashing fun. Setting up a timer by the sink to make sure they get 20 seconds of handwashing is also helpful.

[Lu Ann Wicker]

We sing the abc song , use color soap, we put flour on there hands to show them and talk to the kids about germs , we pretend the flour are the germs , so we need to wash are hands and sing the abcs and see how the germs wash off ,we check to see if all the flour germs are gone.

Singing songs and wiggling our bodies can make hand washing very fun turning it into a dance
