Does anyone have any creative ideas on how to teach students proper handwashing? I know there are cute ideas out there on how easily germs are spread such as using glitter as a visual representing the germs.

Hello Melba, some ideas to teach students proper handwashing is as you mention are great ideas. One way is called 'traveling games' to demonstrate your students how germs can spead in the air use baby powder and pretend to sneeze on the powder by blowing on it the students will see how the baby powder speards all over and they will understand why it is important to cover their mouth when sneezing another is hand washing songs and videos from fun a day.
