Having a shower
Showering step by step, with a grown-up to set the water: hair, shampoo with eyes closed, soap, rinsing and drying.
The steps (11 steps)
Step 1: A grown-up helps me make the water warm.
Step 2: I put my clothes in the wash basket.
Step 3: I step into the shower carefully.
Step 4: I wet my hair and my body.
Step 5: I rub shampoo into my hair.
I keep my eyes closed.
Step 6: I rinse the shampoo out of my hair.
Step 7: I wash my body with soap.
Step 8: I rinse off all the soap.
Step 9: I turn off the water and step out.
Slowly, so I do not slip.
Step 10: I dry my body with a towel.
Step 11: I put on clean clothes.
For grown-ups
Check the water temperature yourself every time. A hand-held shower head, and a towel ready outside the shower, make it easier.
