Teach students the steps to washing hands in this digital interactive activity with moveable pieces or you can use this by printing it out as a cut-and-paste activity in the classroom. This product also has a mini poster to hang up the steps to wash hands.

I teach and model for my students to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds. They need to clean both the back and front of their hands. I also model how to dry my hands with a paper towel and use that same towel to turn the water off. This way they keep their hands nice and clean before throwing away the paper towel.

Stay Safe and Be Well!

This activity can now be found in my updated Science Interactive Notebook.

In this product, students will begin to understand what words mean to others, get students to learn to actively listen to someone telling them information or telling them to complete a task, get students to verbalize more clearly, and get students to effectively communicate. Students will work with a partner by following their partners directions, and after the activity, students will evaluate the easiest part of the activity, hardest part of the activity, and answering the question why communication is important when verbalizing or interacting with others, students will read communication starters using facial expression, intonation, and tone of voice, the importance of using facial expression, intonation, and tone of voice are discussed in depth when having a conversation with others, Examples of different tones of voice are included in this product. Students will practice saying an expression a few different ways so they can understand how tone of voice is important, when we are frustrated or annoyed about something our tone of voice changes as does our intonation and facial expression, therefore, alternative strategies students can implement in their day to day routine are provided for when they feel frustrated, and when talking to others, students will learn that by listening to their conversation partner that they will understand how they are feeling based on their facial expressions, intonation, and tone of voice.

This product can be used for 4th - 8th grade, but can be used for younger or older students depending on maturity and academic level.

This interactive SEL classroom lesson provides fun and engagement for the entire class, while reminding them that everyone (including Disney characters!) uses growth mindset and gratitude in their roles - just as we should do! This activity will have students using creative thinking skills, communication, growth mindset, and so much more! My students have loved this activity and ask to do it frequently (See Leadership Lessons from Disney lesson in my store as well!) I use Disney characters as most are familiar with many of the characters and it is fun to see their faces light up when they get it correct. One of the magical moments with this lesson is seeing how easily they connect with the Disney characters when reflecting afterwards. Everything you need for this lesson is ready to go upon download - easily editable and adjustable to best fit your needs or add new characters as well, with 9 ready to use characters + quotes included!
