Hi there! I just came back from playing with my ducks. Now, it’s time to wash my hands to make sure they’re nice and clean!
First, let’s turn on the water and get our hands wet. Splash, splash! The water feels nice and cool.
Next, we need some soap. Squeeze a little bit onto your hands. Soap helps get rid of all the dirt and germs.
Now, let’s scrub our hands for 20 seconds. That’s about as long as it takes to sing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song two times! Make sure to wash your palms, the backs of your hands, and between your fingers. Scrub, scrub, scrub!
Time to rinse off all the soap with water. Make sure all the bubbles are gone. Now, grab a towel and dry your hands. You can even use the towel to turn off the tap. All done!
Yay! Now my hands are clean, and I’m ready for lunch. Remember, washing your hands is important to keep you healthy and happy!
Handwashing Song and Dance: Create your own handwashing song or dance! Use the ‘Happy Birthday’ tune or make up your own melody. As you sing, practice the steps of washing your hands: wetting, soaping, scrubbing, rinsing, and drying. This will help you remember the steps and make handwashing fun!
Glitter Germs Experiment: Ask an adult to sprinkle a little bit of glitter on your hands. Try washing it off using the steps you learned. Notice how the glitter represents germs and how soap helps to wash them away. Discuss with your friends or family why it’s important to scrub well to remove all the ‘germs’.
Handwashing Detective: Become a handwashing detective! Look around your home or classroom and find places where you might need to wash your hands, like after playing outside or before eating. Share your findings with your classmates or family and talk about why washing hands at these times is important.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“I just got back from feeding my ducks. Time to wash my hands! First, I’ll wet my hands with water. Now I’ll wash them with soap for 20 seconds—that’s the time it takes to sing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song two times. I’ll wash my palms, the back of my hands, and in between my fingers.
Now it’s time to rinse off the soap and dry my hands with a towel. I can even use the towel to turn off the tap. All done! Time for lunch. Don’t forget to subscribe!”
