I will be using this activity as a memorable experience for the children. I aim to introduce the Handwashing Hero to the children in the morning and go through the power point (not the last slide). After lunch I will hide the Handwashing Hero in a cabinet with a pad lock. I will then make the classroom and playground messy and ask the children to find a key by reading the last power point slide (a message from Professor Slime) which will be displayed on the board. You may choose to adapt the power points as you please. I hope this helps you save some time. If you find the time please leave a review.
