Wash Your Hands! | Fun Hygiene Song & Video for Kids  

Join Emma, Jony, and Jinni in this fun and educational nursery rhyme about keeping our hands clean! When Emma finishes drawing with her crayons, she asks Mom for a delicious sandwich. But wait—Mom shows her a graphic of all the sneaky germs hiding on her dirty palms! Emma learns that she needs to wash her hands first.
Later, when Jony and Jinni come in from playing in the garden, Emma gets to be the teacher. She shows them the same germ graphic, and they all head to the sink to squeeze, rub, and bubble the germs away. Sing along to help your little ones build healthy handwashing habits!



Lyrics

Every time before you eat
You should wash your hands
Dirty hands have lots of germs
You should wash your hands

Squeeze a little soap,
and water on your hands
Rub rub rub and bubbles bubbles
Take all the germs away

Why Parents and Teachers Love This Song

Clear Visuals for Abstract Concepts: The graphic showing the green germs on the hand perfectly visualizes why we need to wash our hands, making an invisible threat easy for toddlers to understand.
Actionable Steps: The lyrics provide a step-by-step guide to washing hands ("Squeeze a little soap," "rub rub rub," "bubbles bubbles"), which serves as a great real-time instructional tool at the sink.
Positive Peer Modeling: Seeing Emma teach Jony and Jinni to wash their hands encourages kids to remind each other about good hygiene.


How to use this page:

1. Watch and Learn: Play the video before snack time or lunch to introduce the concept of germs.
2. Sing at the Sink: Print out the lyrics and sing the chorus ("Squeeze a little soap...") together every time your child washes their hands. It acts as a perfect timer to ensure they wash for the appropriate amount of time.
3. Interactive Play: Use the suggested activity below to reinforce the lesson away from the sink.

An educational activity graphic titled 'Wash the Germs Away!' featuring the Emma and Joey logo. On the left, inside a dashed border, is an illustration of a hand covered in colorful, frowning cartoon germs. Below it is an icon of a hand wiping with a 'Damp cloth/ paper towel'. A blue arrow points from the germy hand to a clean, sparkling hand on the right. A 'Parental Guidance' shield icon is at the bottom.

Activity: "Wash the Germs Away" Tracing Game

Visual Reference: Look at the moment in the video (or the second image above) where Emma holds up the tablet showing the hand covered in silly green germs.

Instructions:
1. Take a piece of construction paper and a dark marker, and trace your child's hand.
2. Slide the paper into a clear plastic sheet protector or laminate it.
3. Give your child a dry-erase marker and let them draw their own silly, squiggly "germs" all over the hand, just like the ones on Emma's tablet.
4. Give them a damp sponge or a wet wipe (representing the soap and water) and let them practice "washing" the hand by wiping all the dry-erase germs away!
5. Bonus: Sing the "rub rub rub and bubbles bubbles" line from the song while they wipe!
