According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the single most important thing we can do to keep from getting sick and spreading illness to others is to wash our hands.
Teaching Handwashing
From teaching hand hygiene to preschoolers with Hooray for Handwashing songs and stories to getting students involved in promoting clean hands through the Healthy Schools, Healthy People program, ACI has many useful resources for teaching hand hygiene.
Antibacterials
Alcohol based hand sanitizers or gels or antibacterial wipes are useful alternatives if soap and water are not available. Antibacterial soap is an option for added protection against germs.
