SIMPLE WAY TO TEACH KIDS HANDWASHING
WASH HANDS FOR 20 SECONDS (SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWICE TO TIME YOURSELF)
WASH HANDS FOR 20 SECONDS (SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWICE TO TIME YOURSELF)
Hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including the common cold, staph infections and the flu.
Combine water, soap and friction — for as long as it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice, or at least 20 seconds and germs won’t see their next birthday.
However, when soap and water are unavailable, alcohol-based hand sanitizer can be substituted.
