    Yes, I would think singing a fun song while guiding the little children washing hands is a fun and interesting way to encourage them to have clean hands.

    In my class I often tell kids how important handwashing is and that we can make it fun by singing a song while they wash their hands. You can also use rewards like a sticker to motivate students who need a little bit more of an incentive to make it into a fun activity.

    The “Germ-Busting” Song and Dance:<ul data-sourcepos=”5:1-8:0″> Create a silly handwashing song with actions. Use exaggerated movements and funny voices. Incorporate a mini-dance routine into the handwashing process. For example, have them wiggle their fingers like “germ-fighting superheroes.” Change the song weekly to keep it fresh and e

    Our kids love to sing the handwashing song. We’ve also been able to use colored hand soap. But truly if we just sing songs and let them have a buddy to wash next to them. They are happy.
