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