 Promoting awareness among children about Handwash & Menstrual Hygiene through games and multimedia. Games and Multimedia played a very important role in creating awareness among school children about Hand wash and Menstrual Hygiene. We created four different Games for children and we called them as WASH Games. Our Games are as follows : 1.a) Sanitation search,b) Hygiene ladder, c) Wash card ,d) Poster and Quiz., 2).In Multimedia children watch Cartoon Films on Hand Wash & Menstrual Hygiene. 3) Super Wash Drama: 2 children chosen to act as Super Wash stars. It is very interactive for children to learn hygiene practice and Helps children in memorising the techniques about Hand wash and menstrual hygiene. We played four different types of games with children and also showing videos of Hand wash and Menstrual Hygiene. Children enjoy so much while playing these games. They learned a lot about Hygiene Practice. We organised learn Hand washing & Hygiene practice Through Games & Multimedia in 10 schools in Delhi NCR Region. To encourage Hygiene Practice among children we gave prizes to first three children for each and every game activity.
