How it works
Dirt can hide on our hands, even when we cannot see it.
If we eat with dirty hands, the dirt goes into our tummies.
Soap and water wash it away: wet, soap, scrub, rinse and dry.
Worked examples
Wet and soap
- Turn on the tap and get your hands wet.
- Pump some soap.
- Rub it round and round between your hands.
Scrub, scrub, scrub
- Scrub the backs, the fronts, and in between.
- Sing a little song while you scrub.
- Keep scrubbing until the song is over.
Rinse and dry
- Rinse until the soap and the mud swirl down the drain.
- Dry on a soft, fluffy towel.
- Now your hands are clean.
When we wash
- Wash before we eat.
- Wash after we use the toilet.
- Wash after playing outside, too.
