Personal Hygiene: Practice Washing Our Hands

At circle time we talked about how we can pass germs to each other. First we practiced coughing and pretend sneezing into the crook of our elbow. Then we addressed the importance of washing our hands. Later during center time we discovered that water alone and washing with soap for just a couple of seconds was not enough to get cinnamon off our hands. The job got done only when we rubbed soap on top of our hands, on our palms, and in between our fingers for a a couple of minutes.
