Operation: Clean Hands!

Help the children wash their hands after going to the toilet!

First, fill the empty jerrycan by catching water droplets from the tap. The arrow keys let you line up the mouth of the can with the falling water. Next, use the space bar to sprinkle the water over the children's dirty hands. If you miss, the children may die from diarrhea, caught and spread by their dirty hands. Clean hands keep you healthy, so always wash yours after using the toilet.

Don't forget to refill the jerrycan!



To educators and parents:

Learning good hygiene habits is essential to good health. Teach children these habits by involving them in age-appropriate activities, be it making soap bubbles, building a Tippy Tap or examining enteric bacteria under a microscopic. Need a few more ideas? Consider developing something like the Water Toolkit for your school system.

Make these activities fun, and children will pass what they learn on to their family and friends. Let's spread healthy habits!
