Teach procedural writing with a familiar routine using this How to Wash Hands activity! Students sequence the steps and then write them in their own words.

Students put the hand washing picture cards in order with the transition word cards, then write the steps on the How to Wash Your Hands page using first, next, then, after that, and finally. Picture supports beside each step help students stay on track.
