Make Hand Washing Fun! Free Printable Sequencing Activity
Is getting your little ones to wash their hands properly a daily struggle? We get it. Germs are everywhere, but teaching the right way to wash doesn’t have to feel like a chore.
That’s why we created our brand new “Super Clean Hands!” Hand Washing Sequencing Printable—a fun, hands-on activity designed to turn this essential routine into an exciting game!
This free 3-page printable pack is perfect for parents, teachers, and homeschoolers to help kids (Preschool – 2nd Grade) master the steps for perfectly clean hands.
What’s Included in Your Free Printable?
Our downloadable PDF pack is designed for easy printing and includes three pages:
- Instruction & Preview Sheet: A quick guide for grown-ups and a small preview of the six steps for clean hands.
- The “Super Clean Hands!” Activity Mat: This is the main page! It features our fun title and six numbered boxes where your child will glue the steps in the correct order.

How to Use This Activity
Getting started is as easy as 1-2-3!
- Download and Print: First, download the free PDF from the link at the bottom of this post and print all three pages.
- Talk: Before cutting, talk with your child about why we wash our hands. Let them discover the six pictures on the cut-out page. This gives them ownership of the activity!
- Cut and Sort: Help your child carefully cut out the six picture squares. This is great practice for their fine motor skills.
- Sequence and Glue: Using the main activity mat, help them figure out the correct order. What do we do first? What comes next? Once they have the right sequence, they can glue each picture into its numbered box.
- Display with Pride! Hang the finished chart on the bathroom wall or near the sink. It will serve as a fun, visual reminder every time they need to wash their hands.
