This lesson was formed to teach children about handwashing. I did this lesson with a second grade class at Rural Hall Elementary school during student teaching. The students were interested in germs, and if they could move and multiply. I also used resources from the internet to help them see what germs looked like int he character form. Also I used the hadwashing sheet from the website.This activity was to get the students thinking about how to correctly wash their hands. They put it in order from beginning to end in a whole group setting.
