Lesson Introduction: The Splashy World of Handwashing

Objective:

To engage Grade 6 students in understanding the importance of proper handwashing in the hospitality and catering industry.


The Handwashing Challenge: A Hands-On Entrance

Welcome to the Splashy World of Handwashing!

Today, we’re diving into one of the most essential skills in the hospitality and catering industry—proper handwashing! Before we start, I have a fun challenge that will get everyone involved and excited. Here’s how it works:


Activity: The Handwashing Bingo!

  1. Bingo Cards: As students enter the classroom, give each student a Bingo card that contains different handwashing steps and facts. Examples may include:

    • “Wet your hands with clean, running water”
    • “Scrub for at least 20 seconds”
    • “Rinse thoroughly”
    • “Use soap”
    • “Clean under your nails”
  2. Instructions: Explain that as you discuss different aspects of handwashing today:

    • When they hear a step or fact, they should mark it on their Bingo card.
    • First student to complete a row shouts “Bingo!” and gets a small prize (like a sticker or a treat).
  3. Engagement: Encourage students to listen carefully and think about why each step is important in environments like restaurants, schools, and hotels.


Why This Matters?

Discussion Prompt: After the Bingo game, gather the students in a circle and ask them:

This engaging start will not only introduce the topic but also encourage students to think critically about hygiene practices and their impact on health in the hospitality industry.


Transition to Lesson Content

After the discussion, smoothly transition into the main lesson by stating:

“Fantastic insights, everyone! Now that we've warmed up, let’s explore the science behind these handwashing steps and why doing it properly is critical for everyone’s health and safety in our kitchens and dining areas!”


Now, let’s make a splash in the world of proper handwashing!
