Wash Hands by Christine Calabrese (Copyright 2017)
Water, Water - Warm and Wet
Soap, Soap - A Little Bit
Wash front, wash back, wash those inbetweens,
Wash front, wash back, get those fingers clean.
Squish and bubble
It’s no trouble
One more time
We do it double
Wash front, wash back, wash those inbetweens,
Wash front, wash back, get those fingers clean.
Water rinsing almost done
Wipe your hands it’s super fun!
Now we turn the faucet off
Using just our wiping cloth.
Notes to parents and teachers:
Always model first, it’s fun to ask a child to demonstrate after you have modeled.
Proper hand washing takes 20 seconds to sufficiently rinse away germs; it takes about 22-25 seconds to recite the washing portion of this poem.
Children usually use too much soap, so compliment children who are using it sparingly, also be sure to model for the children.
