Scrub Club For Kids...
It is important yet always a challenge to get children to wash their hands properly. Here is a resource that may be of help... The Scrub Club for Kids.
Each year, more than 164 million school days are lost due to illness, which could be greatly reduced with proper handwashing. That’s why NSF International created the Scrub Club™ – to raise awareness about the benefits of handwashing and ultimately improve the health of children and reduce school sick days. The Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) has partnered with NSF on this groundbreaking initiative.
Scrub Club™ to the RescueThe Scrub Club™ program is the first of its kind – a fun, interactive and educational Web site (www.scrubclub.org) that teaches children the proper way to wash their hands. The site consists of a Webisode interactive games, educational music, downloadable activities for kids, educational materials for teachers and program information for parents.
The Scrub Club™ is a group of seven kids and Ship-Shape – the mysterious but lovable leader who watches over the hands of the world’s children from his Bubble telescope – that join forces to fight off harmful germs and bacteria, teaching children the proper handwashing process along the way. Each of the Scrub Club™ kids represents one of the six steps of the handwashing process.
There is plenty of fun for children and information, activities, music, and downloads for parents and educators. Check out the website.
