Handwashing Instructions Poster
Children can easily learn the recommended procedure for thorough handwashing with some physical help and a poster or series of photographs that remind them of the steps. Many teachers encourage children to use a simple song like the “ABC” song or “Happy Birthday” while scrubbing to approximate the recommended time for washing.

Figure: Six-step chart shows children how to wash their hands. First step says, "get hands wet," and shows a running faucet with two hands under the water. Step 2 says, "Squirt soap on," and shows a soap dispenser and two hands with soap on them. Step three says, "Scrub. Sing," and shows two hands with soap foam, as well as music notes and the text, "Happy Birthday." Step four says, "Rinse," and shows a faucet with two hands under the running water. Step five says, "Dry," and shows to hands being dried on a towel. Step six says, "Turn off water," and shows a faucet being turned off by a hand holding a towel.
