Band-Aids and Handwashing

This week my coleader and I tackled handwashing, wound tending and how to put on a band-aid.

We started by having all our little Sparks wash their hands for the right amount of time.  We used a version of "twinkle twinkle".

Twinkle twinkle little star
Look how clean my two hands are
Soap and water rub a dub
Scrub scrub scrub scrub scrub scrub scrub
Twinkle twinkle little star
Look how clean my two hands are.

The girls then were able to practice cleaning a wound, putting on Polysporin and then a band-aid.  Being always careful to not touch the pad in the centre of the band-aid.  We had them bring stuffies from home to practice on, but the girls didn't want to put the band-aids on them, so we had them put a band-aid on my coleader's arms.  

We sang a song called twinkle twinkle little Spark, and talked about how a good night's rest helps us the next day by not being a grump.

We wrapped up the night with a craft.  It's a bird.  It's a plane!  It's band-aid man!
