Let’s Learn About Washing Hands and Asking for Drinks!

Washing Hands

It’s important to keep our hands clean. We wash our hands to stay healthy. In Spanish, we say “Lávate las manos” when we wash our hands. Let’s sing a happy song while we wash our hands!

Asking for Drinks

When we are thirsty, we can ask for something to drink. Here are some ways to ask for drinks:

Do You Want Milk?

If someone asks, “Do you want milk?” you can say, “Yes, please” if you want it, or “No, thank you” if you don’t. In Spanish, milk is “leche.”

Do You Want Water?

If you prefer water, you can say, “I want water, please.” In Spanish, water is “agua.”

Do You Want Orange Juice?

If you like orange juice, you can say, “I want orange juice, please.” Orange juice is “jugo de naranja” in Spanish.

Being Polite

When someone gives you a drink, it’s nice to say “Thank you.” In Spanish, we say “Gracias.” If someone thanks you, you can say “You’re welcome,” or “De nada” in Spanish.

Asking for More

If you finish your drink and want more, you can say, “Do you want more?” You can answer, “Yes, please” if you want more. In Spanish, “more” is “más.”

All Gone!

When your drink is finished, you can say “All gone!” In Spanish, we say “Acabado.”

Let’s Practice!

Try asking for your favorite drink and remember to say “please” and “thank you.” It’s fun to learn new words in Spanish too!

  • Can you think of a time when you washed your hands before doing something fun, like eating or playing? Why do you think it’s important to wash your hands?
  • What is your favorite drink to ask for when you’re thirsty? How do you feel when someone gives you your favorite drink?
  • Have you ever tried asking for something in another language, like Spanish? How did it feel to use new words?
  1. Hand Washing Experiment: Let’s see how important it is to wash our hands! Take a piece of bread and touch it with unwashed hands. Then, wash your hands while singing a happy song, and touch another piece of bread with your clean hands. Place both pieces in separate clear bags and observe them over a week. What do you notice? Talk about why washing hands is important to keep us healthy.

  2. Drink Request Role Play: Pair up with a friend or family member and practice asking for drinks. Use the phrases you learned, like “Do you want milk?” or “I want water, please.” Remember to say “thank you” or “gracias” when you receive your drink. Try switching roles and practice in both English and Spanish. How does it feel to be polite and use new words?

  3. Drink Preference Chart: Create a simple chart with your favorite drinks like milk, water, and orange juice. Ask your family members what their favorite drinks are and mark it on the chart. Discuss which drink is the most popular in your family. Can you say the names of these drinks in Spanish? Try using your new words at home!
