Hygiene posters are great for sequencing functional life skills! I’ve designed these ones for Special Education, focusing on washing hands that feature simple, clear visuals and step-by-step instructions to ensure understanding. Here’s a breakdown of the elements I’ve included:
- Title: “Wash Your Hands” in large, easy-to-read font.
- Images:
- Visual of turning on the faucet and adjusting the water temperature.
- Clear images of applying soap, rubbing hands together and rinsing thoroughly.
- Drying hands with a clean towel or paper towel, with a visual of using the towel.
- Step-by-step guide: The poster would use simple, steps, with a large icon for each action, such as “Turn on water,” “use soap,” “wash hands,” “Rinse off,” and “Dry hands.”
- Colorful and clear design: Bright colors that are visually engaging, yet not overwhelming, with a mix of simple shapes to represent the actions.
- Text: Short, simple sentences or phrases to accompany the images. Large font sizes and a clear.
- Emotional reinforcement: Smileys or fun characters make the poster friendly and motivating.
- Tips for success: Use a small reminder at the bottom, like “Count to 20,” to encourage washing for a recommended duration.
The goal is to display them or make them accessible, interactive, and motivating for students in special education by breaking down the task of handwashing into manageable steps that are easy to follow and visually memorable.
