Now that your hands are nice and clean, they could use a little exercise. Try these:

Spread your fingers out as far as possible. Feel that s-t-r-e-t-c-h? Now squeeze them into two tight fists. Repeat 10 times.

Remember the last time you had a cold or the flu? It was pretty miserable. You sneezed, coughed and had no energy. But there’s an easy way to avoid all that: Just join Kid Scoop’s SCRUB SQUAD.

Stand with your feet slightly apart. Reach your hands up, up, UP as high as you can. Now bend and reach for your toes. Repeat 10 times.

Using hand sanitizer shouldn’t be a _________________ for washing your hands with soap and _________. While HOW TO JOIN: You join automatically sanitizer does kill _________, it doesn’t do a very good job of getting rid of every time you wash your hands! __________ dirt. Think of hand sanitizer as just a little “touch-up” ____________ hand washings with good ol’ soap and water.

Extend your arms straight out, level with your shoulders. Slowly start twirling your arms in a circular motion. Spin them faster and faster for 60 seconds.

Hold your hands out in front of you. Reach over your shoulders and pat your back for 30 seconds. Cross your arms and try again. Do this for 30 seconds. You deserve a pat on the back!

Rub your hands together under warm running water. Make sure to get wet up to your wrists. Use a generous amount of soap. Liquid soap, powdered soap or bar soap are all great. SCRUB: Get the palms, back of your hands, wrists, under your nails and between your fingers for at least 20 seconds. Rinse your hands to get rid of the soap (and dirt and germs). Air dry your hands or use a clean towel, either cloth or paper.

When should I wash my hands? • after playing DISTOUE • after using the STROMORE • before eating or KONCOGI • after petting SANIMLA • before and after visiting a sick DRFNEI • after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing • after taking out the RATHS Healthy fun!
