The steps (7 steps)

Step 1: I turn on the tap.

Step 3: I put soap on my hands.
Step 4: I rub my hands together.
Palms, backs, between my fingers and my thumbs. I can count to 20.
Step 5: I rinse off all the soap.
Step 6: I turn off the tap.
Step 7: I dry my hands with a towel.

Count to 20 together while rubbing. A step stool helps children reach the tap safely.
