This lesson plan focuses on teaching toddlers the importance of hand washing and the correct techniques involved in maintaining hygiene. The session begins with a circle time discussion about hands, allowing children to express what they do with them, followed by an explanation of how hand washing helps prevent illness by removing germs.
The instructor demonstrates proper hand washing steps using a sink or a visual aid, which include wetting hands, applying soap, lathering for at least 20 seconds, rinsing, and drying. Children then practice washing their hands under supervision to reinforce the steps. A fun hand washing song or rhyme is taught to engage the children and make the learning experience enjoyable.
The lesson concludes with a recap of key learning points, encouraging children to share when they should wash their hands. Each child receives a sticker or stamp as a reward for their participation. The plan emphasizes hands-on practice, interactive learning, and positive reinforcement to foster good hygiene habits among toddlers.
