Wash Your Hands!
Sing a song about when to wash.
- Watch the video together. Ask, “When is it important to wash your hands?” (after coughing or sneezing, before eating, after using the bathroom, plus any time they’re dirty).
- Sing another hand-washing song (to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It”):
If you’re coughing and you’re sneezing, wash your hands.
If you’re coughing and you’re sneezing, wash your hands.
If you’re coughing and you’re sneezing,
If you’re coughing and you’re sneezing,
If you’re coughing and you’re sneezing, wash your hands.
- Sing new verses: “Before you eat some food, wash your hands” and “When you’re finished with the potty, wash your hands.”
