Teaching Kids to Wash Their Hands – Step by Step
Teaching proper handwashing to children involves educating them on the fact that germs are everywhere and just because we can’t see them, doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
The following instructions will help provide guidance to children so that they don’t miss any important steps in the process.
- Rinse hands with water.
- Add soap.
- Rub hands together for 30 seconds.
- Clean backs of hands and wrists.
- Clean between fingers.
- Rinse hands.
- Dry hands.
It is important for everyone to practice effective hand washing – whether you’re a grown up or child! Washing your hands properly is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs and infection, helping kids to stay healthy to ensure they don’t miss any school and so they can carry on daily life as normal.
Due to the nature of interactions with other kids alongside use of shared equipment, toys and stationery in schools and other settings, the risk of children catching an illness can be high. Hand washing is key to prevention but so too is education. Children often need to be provided with gentle reminders about washing their hands, and turning these reminders into fun games, songs or colourful posters can help turn these reminders into healthy habits.
This is where our free hand washing for children poster can help. By displaying this poster across your facilities and restrooms, you are educating and encouraging children to regularly practice good hand hygiene to best protect themselves and everyone around them.
