Wash Hands Activity Visual Cue There are two versions of the “Wash Hands Activity Visual Cue”. The first version (slides 3 and 4) uses real photographs and the second (slide 5) uses line drawings to represent the steps of washing hands. For developmentally younger children the photograph version is much easier to understand. Some teachers may want to use the photograph version as a model to create their own personalized version by photographing pictures in their environment. Assembly Directions: If you are using the “photograph version”, print on cardstock paper (see print directions on next page). Then photographs can be cut out, laminated, and placed on strips of a laminated file folder that’s cut in half (or poster board) to form a horizontal sequence of steps for the child to follow. You will need to put the (soft) Velcro on the file folder strips and the (rough) Velcro on the front and back of the individual photographs. If helpful, the child can turn over the picture after completing each step of the sequence to indicate activity completion. The photographs can also be easily removed and shown to the child directly for individual prompting. If you are using the “clip art” version for washing hands, print only slide 5, laminate and post. You can point to the picture steps to cue the child. Lentini, R., Vaughn, B. J., & Fox, L. (2005). Teaching Tools for Young Children with Challenging Behavior.
