can somebody give me a site about storytelling for preschool children that teaches handwashing? thanks!?

Answer 1

I don't know any websites but I do know a song that we teach that helps. Try this (to the tune of Frere Jacques):
Tops and bottoms,
Tops and bottoms,
In between,
In between!
All around my hands,
All around my hands,
Rinse them clean.
Rinse them clean.
To do it as a group activity to teach the song, use hand lotion and tell them to pretend it's soap, then make sure adults model and supervise during hand washing to get the children to wash for a longer period of time.

You can also use the standard ABC song ending with
Now I rinse my hands real good
And dry them off, like I should.

Answer 2

The best of storytelling is done with great imagination and movement. I don't know exactly what your assignment allows. But, real storytelling has been used through the ages in many cultures as a social time and family history time. Today's modern storytelling has lost much of that, but a good storyteller will engage the child in imagination and participating in ideas, completing sequences and even discussing roles and identities within the idea of the story. It is a social time in circle time, and I enourage my parents to tell their history to their chldren and relate when they were small to what their children are experiencing now. The best storytelling is done with music and movement, think of the Native Americans and their pow wows. that is an perfect example of storytelling through traditions. Those children are learning their history, identification, connecting with others their age and respecting their elders. Good luck with your project! :) Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Just model yourself. In detail, sing and wash with them (or next to the sink in their vision if only one sink is available).To the tune of "row, row, row your boat" sing the following and simultaneously scrub your hands. "Scrub, scrub, scrub your hands, scrub them to their clean. Around the back, around the back, fingers in between. Thumbkin here and thumbkin there. Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub germs go down the drain."

Doing is always better than stories. Good luck.
