Handwashing 101 -Mikaylei Byrd
Why do we wash hands ? Washing your hands is the BEST way to prevent sickness. GERMS are EVERYWHERE, hand washing is the FIRST line of defense against germs. *Hand washing is especially important for kids because they have very fragile immune systems and can get sick very easily.
Adult Technique • Run hands under warm water. • Lather hands in soap • Rub vigorously for about 20 seconds. (*Scrub your palms, back of hands, wrists, between fingers, and under fingernails.) • Rinse again • Dry with a CLEAN towel
Kids Technique Try teaching kids with this fun Hand washing song: BABY BUMBLEBEE (Start by making buzzing noises, and cup hands together catching “imaginary” bee) I caught a little baby bumblebee, Won't my mummy be so proud of me? I caught a little baby bumblebee- (spoken) OUCH! It stung me!!! (clapping hands in time to squish the bee) I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee, Won't my mummy be so proud of me? I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee- (spoken) EURGHHHHH! I've got squished-up bumblebee all over my hands What'll I do??
Song Continued… (Class should yell WASH THEM!) (go through motions of turning on tap, wetting hands, getting soap...) (palms) I'm washing off my baby bumblebee, (backs of hands) Won't my mummy be so proud of me? (between fingers, wrists) I'm washing off my baby bumblebee- (spoken) Oh! My hands are all wet! What'll I do?? (Class should yell DRY THEM!) (go through motions of getting paper towel, drying hands...) (palms) I'm drying off my baby bumblebee, (backs of hands) Won't my mummy be so proud of me? (between fingers, wrists) I'm drying off my baby bumblebee- (spoken) Oh-oh! I threw the paper on the floor! What should I do?? (class will say PUT IT IN THE BIN!) (spoken) Now I'm ready for lunch! (hands up in air) YIPPEE!
