Planning it in DenBuddy starts a new den meeting with this activity already on the agenda, so you can add an opening, a closing and whatever else the night needs.

How to run it

Glitter everyone's hands. Rinse-only first — glitter stays. Then soap + 20 seconds of the ABCs.

List out loud when you should wash: before eating, after the bathroom, after sneezing, after animals.
