Handwashing Artwork - Grade 1

 

My sample

Lesson Background:

After an 11 week lockdown, I decided some handwashing activities would be the perfect start back at school. We did experiments to show how soap works, learnt a hand washing song, and then made these artworks.

Lesson Materials: (per student)

1 white, 1 pink, 1 pale blue and 1 purple oil pastel

1 sheet A4 black card or paper

1 sheet A4 coloured paper

Lyrics to a handwashing song or class-made rules/expectations

Small and medium-sized circles to trace around (we used glue stick lids and the lids off some of my big teacher stamps)

Scissors

Glue

Lesson Steps:

1. Using the white oil pastel and some circle shapes, trace circles all around the page

2. Inside the circles, put curved lines in the corners using the pink, light blue and purple oil pastels

3. Fold a sheet of coloured paper in half and trace one hand onto it. Cut out so that you have 2 hand templates.

4. Place the hands onto the bubbles page.

5.  Cut out and stick the lyrics on top.
