This study presents an interdisciplinary, short-term and low-cost intervention aimed at promoting knowledge about handwashing in 10-year-old children and two pilot studies to assess its impact. In the 2016 pilot study, conducted in Puerto Iguazú city, the responses to a survey about handwashing of children who participated and did not participate in the intervention were compared. The intervention consisted in playful activities in which children were instructed in different aspects of handwashing. In the 2017 pilot, carried out in four locations in northern Argentina, the responses of children before and after the intervention were compared. The results of both pilot studies indicated that this intervention has the potential to promote knowledge about the steps needed to achieve proper hand washing. Aunque el lavado de manos evita enfermedades infecciosas graves a bajo costo, sólo una de cada cinco personas se lava las manos después de ir al baño. Este estudio presenta una intervención diseñada interdisciplinariamente, corta y económica para promover el conocimiento sobre el lavado de manos en niños de 10 años y dos estudios piloto para evaluar su impacto. En el piloto 2016 (Puerto Iguazú, Argentina), se compararon las respuestas a una encuesta sobre lavado de niños que participaron y no participaron de la intervención. La intervención consistió en actividades lúdicas sobre el lavado de manos. En el piloto 2017 (cuatro localidades del norte argentino), se compararon las respuestas de niños previas y posteriores a la intervención. Los resultados de ambos estudios piloto indicaron que esta intervención tiene potencial para promover el conocimiento sobre los pasos que deben seguirse para un correcto lavado de manos.
