Magic Soap and BooBoo Cream

My friend, Elizabeth, has asked me to be on the lookout for Kindergarten ideas. I went to see a friend's newborn baby today. This friend, Jenny, was a Pre-K teacher before becoming a stay-home mom to a beautiful baby girl. As I was lathering up with the Germ-X before I held the baby, she mentioned that in her classroom they called Germ-X "Magic Soap." They called it magic soap because it washes your hands without water. What a cute little saying. I don't know if I would do it with First Graders, but I think it would still be fun for Kindergarten. Another friend of mine who taught Kindergarten for 6 years and moved to First grade just this year shared with me an idea to help Kindergarteners forget about their booboos and get back to work. She said that her students would come up to her and point to a spot on their elbow (for example) and complain about it hurting. She said she would look and there wouldn't even be a red spot or scratch at all. Being a first grade teacher, I wouldn't even acknowledge this and I would tell them it would be ok and go on. But with Kindergarteners, they are a little more dramatic, so I hear, and they need more attention when it comes to those booboos. She had a tub of vasaline that she put a sticker on that read, "BooBoo Cream." Anytime a kid had one of these kinds of booboos, she would rub on a little booboo cream and it would be all better. Of course if there was blood, or broken skin, they would be sent to the nurse, but for those "imaginary" booboos, it was a perfect cure that took their mind off of their injury and helped them get back to the task at hand.
