We do different activities with our children. We sing funny hand washing songs. We will use markers and make different dots on their hands and they have to wash their hands til all the markers are off. We have silly posters up at the sinks.

[Trainer]

That sounds like a fun and interactive way to teach handwashing! Using songs and visuals makes learning enjoyable and memorable for children.

We have silly posters up at the sinks.

Singing a song

[Jenifer Guerrero]

I feel like a way to make it fun is singing a happy birthday song

[Trainer]

Interesting idea, Jenifer! Incorporating songs like “Happy Birthday” can make science activities more engaging and memorable for young children.

my favorite hand on science would be sink or float, collecting objects and test if they sink or float in a bowl of water.

I also was suppose to say how would I do hand washing with the children, we would sing the “happy birthday song as he/she washes her/his hands.

[Trainer]

Great ideas, Natalie! Sink or float is a fun way to explore properties of objects, and singing while washing hands makes it enjoyable and memorable!

We like to do the oil and salt activity children wash hands then see if they still have oil and salt on there hands then we talk about making sure water is warm they are rubbing their hands well with the soap before rinsing.

[Alexandra Brooke-Vaca]

a fun science experiment we’ve done before is putting watercolors on shaving cream and then placing a piece of paper on top to make a design on the paper. the kids always really enjoy watching the color get transferred to the paper

[Maria Garcia]

I think that singing a song while the child is washing there hands makes it exciting for them!

[Trainer]

Great idea, Maria! Combining music with handwashing makes it fun and encourages engagement while promoting good habits.
