This document describes an exercise to teach children the importance of washing their hands with soap and water. The exercise involves having children place their hands on paper after washing with just water or soap and water, so they can see the difference - hands washed with just water will leave dirty marks while soap and water will leave clean hands and clean paper. The goal is to help children understand good hygiene practices through a hands-on demonstration.
