About This Product
Do you want to teach your high school students in special education life skills OR general education family and consumer sciences how to do their own laundry? This complete, no-prep lesson breaks it down into easy steps with fun activities (like researching how to remove stains and sorting a pretend laundry basket) included along the way!
How to Use:
Print a 6-page worksheet package for each student.
On the first page, students learn how often to do laundry and wash certain items.
On page two, students can research ways to remove 8 common stains OR you can teach it to them as they take notes.
The third page discusses how to sort laundry. Students sort a sample basket of 10 types of items into two loads.
For step 4, students learn about three common detergent types: liquid, strips, or pods.
Students learn about drying on the fifth page. They record four dryer modes and what they do (either by researching OR you teach them).
Finally on page six, students learn a bit about ironing, draw the iron symbol from clothes’ tags, and even think of fun ways to make sure they actually fold what they have cleaned.
A complete answer key is included so this lesson is ready to print and use immediately! It could also be a great sub plan to have on hand.
