Handwashing Song

Activity Instructions:

To the tune of “Here we go round the Mulberry Bush”

Lyrics:

This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands
This is the way we wash our hands, so we get them clean.

Put them under the water now, the water now, the water now,
Put them under the water now, so we get them clean.

Reach your hands and get some soap, get some soap, get some soap,
Reach your hands and get some soap, so we get them clean.

Rub them together top and bottom, top and bottom, top and bottom,
Rub them together top and bottom, so we get them clean.

Put them under and rinse them off, rinse them off, rinse them off
Put them under and rinse them off, so we get them clean.

Take the towel and pat them dry, pat them dry, pat them dry
Take the towel and pat them dry, so we get them clean.

(Optional: Take the towel, and throw it away, throw it away, throw it away,
Take the towel and throw it away, now we’re all done.)
