After learning about how to wash their hands properly, the children were able to check how well they had cleaned them by looking at their hands in a special machine that uses UV light to show up germs. As you can imagine, it was quite a surprise to some of them that they still had germs showing up on their hands so hopefully everyone will now be making an extra super effort with their hand washing from now on.
This is always an interesting activity. Really drives home the importance of handwashing to beat the bugs.
Who did you borrow the UV light box from? I’m sure other schools might like to try this too.
