 A fun, hygiene education campaign to teach children about the importance of handwashing!

Available now – PSHE Association quality assured resource, My Responsibilities & Handwashing, focusing on the importance of handwashing and our responsibility to keep ourselves and others healthy.

Unilever Lifebuoy is the world’s leading health soap, and for over 100 years Lifebuoy has promoted better hygiene habits across the world. Lifebuoy is bringing a national handwashing behaviour initiative as approved by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), intending to make handwashing fun and help pupils understand why it’s so important. Dr Ranj even makes an appearance with a virtual assembly video!

Lifebuoy Soaper Heroes brings you a whole host of FREE educational resources, all tailored for each of the primary age groups.

• Fun educational videos featuring animated characters

These resources will give you everything you need to teach a fun lesson about handwashing. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what our teachers had to say:

“I used the 10 minute experiments with my new intake and they loved it. Haven’t stopped talking about it since, and the posters we have put in the bathrooms has them talking about Bish, Bash and Bosh and they link it back to the good handwashing experiment”

– Registered Soaper Heroes Teacher

“The materials for 5-8 year-olds seem really good and are age appropriate, with good progression from KS1 to KS2…I like the idea of using a 21-day calendar and rewarding hand-washing.”
