Clever Idea for Bathroom Passes


As the excitement of the new school year approaches, I wanted to share one of my favorite teacher ideas!  We all have bathroom passes for our students.  By the end of the school year (or sometimes sooner), these lovely items need to be thrown away because they are so dirty.  Not any more!

My new bathroom passes are on hand sanitizer bottles.  Each bottle is labeled either girl's or boy's. When a student needs to use the restroom, he/she takes the appropriate bottle and places it on top of his/her desk.  When the student returns, he/she puts the pass back, BUT must take a squirt of the hand sanitizer.  This way, I know the kids have at least used the sanitizer.  :)

Below are two examples.

After printing out the pictures, tape each one to a bottle of hand sanitizer.  I use packaging tape to really secure these on the bottles.  When they run out, I refill them using another bottle.
