For little kids this can be kind of scary. We want children to have a basic concept of germs, but we don\u2019t want to make them so freaked out that they won\u2019t touch anything, or they want to wash their hands every few minutes. That creates a whole new problem.<\/p>\n<p>Billy Gorilly\u2019s SuperStar Hand Washing video makes learning about hand washing fun. It keeps the germ talk simple so it\u2019s not too scary. In the video Billy teaches kids the basics of Why, When, and How to wash their hands in words they can understand. Then, they get to pretend to be world famous rock stars singing the <em>SuperStar Hand Washer<\/em> song. The song is just the right length for hand washing timing, easy to sing, and lets those pesky little germs know who\u2019s boss as they\u2019re being sent down the drain. You just might find yourself singing the song too. I think it makes a lot more sense than happy birthday. What does your birthday have to do with hand washing anyway?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">SuperStar Hand Washing Why, When, and How<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hand Washing for Kids - Get Rid of Germs Learn How to Wash Your Hands\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vr6GQN-z_2s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Hand washing is one of the best ways to not get sick or spread germs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our\u00a0goal is to help kids form a healthy habit of<br \/>\ngood hand washing that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Complete Hand Washing Lesson Plan for Teachers<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/billygorilly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SSHW-Pinterest-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2998 size-medium\" style=\"margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/billygorilly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SSHW-Pinterest-web-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"Hand Washing Lesson Plan\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/billygorilly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SSHW-Pinterest-web-196x300.jpg 196w, http:\/\/billygorilly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SSHW-Pinterest-web-668x1024.jpg 668w, http:\/\/billygorilly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SSHW-Pinterest-web.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/a>We&#8217;ve created a\u00a0hand washing lesson kit that contains everything you need to teach a classroom full of children how to wash their hands.
