In between, in between (rub fingers inside on both hands)
All around your hands, all around your hands
Makes them clean, makes them clean
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
Washing
This little hand is a good little hand (wave)
This little hand is its brother (wave other)
Together they wash and wash and wash (pretend)
One hand washes the other.

Hand Washing Song
Sung To: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
Sing this song while washing. Helps with proper hand washing skills. It takes about 30 seconds which is the amount of time one should take to allow antibacterial soap to do its job.
I can wash my hands you see,
Wash them clean as clean can be.
Inside, outside, my fingers, too
Around my thumbs and then I'm through,
Now rinse away the dirt and stains,
Send those germs down the drain!
Bubbles
Back and forth until there's bubbles,
Back and forth until there's bubbles.
On the top until there's bubbles,
On the top until there's bubbles.
In between and in between
And in between until there clean.
Thumb, thumb, thumbkin twist,
Thumb, thumb, thumbkin twist,
Wring, wring around the wrist,
Wring, wring around the wrist.
Now rinse those bubbles away.
Top and bottom
Top and bottom
In between
In between
Rub them all together
Rub them all together
Squeaky clean
Squeaky clean
So for the first line, the kids are rubbing the soap all over the tops and bottoms of their hands, then the next verse they are lacing their fingers together and rubbing them, then they are just rubbing the soap all over their hands for the last two versus.

My friend Anna she's my friend did I mention she's a friend of mine
She's in the know you should see her go
Yes she washes her hands all of the time
In the know…see her go
And she's very seldom sick I find
My friend Aaron he's my friend did I mention he's a friend of mind
He's a soccer whiz he is too busy
To wash his hands most of the time
A soccer whiz he…is too busy
And has a cold or something else I find
So wash your hands both palms and backs between your fingers too
Don't skimp on soap good job I hope
Because it's so important to do
Don't skimp on soap..good job I hope
Get rid of germs yeah good for you
Here's a little something that's good for all to know.
It's good for all to wash their hands under the water flow.
Put your hands in water then grab the soap and scrub.
It's good to wash away those germs, scrub, a dub a dub.
Look how clean your hands look, now rinse when you are through;
Grab a towel and dry them off, clean hands are good for you.
It's good to form the habit of washing germs away.
And if you learn to do it now you'll do it every day.
Sing this little ditty until the washing's done.
Washing hands can really be so much fun.
Sung to tune of Twinkle Twinkle takes about 20 seconds perfect length for washing hands.
Twinkle Twinkle little star
See how clean my two hands are
Soap and water wash and scrub
Get those germs off rub a dub
Twinkle Twinkle Little star
See how clean my two hands are.
Here is a song I sing with my kids when washing our hands. Not only does it get them to wash for longer, it helps them to remember to really scrub.
Sung to the tune of "Row, row, row your boat"
Wash, wash , wash your hands,
Play our handy game.
Rub and scrub, scrub and rub,
Germs go down the drain.
(Sing it two times to take about 20 seconds.)
(used as a flannel board story)
Five little germs, sitting in a row
The first one said, "On hands, I like to grow."
The second one said, "I like to fly in the air."
The third one said, "I don't care."
The fourth one said, "I travel on a sneeze."
The fifth one said, "Wash your hands? Oh, please!"
Swish goes the water
Bubble goes the soap
And the five little germs
down the drain they float.
Germs, germs, germs, germs.
Germs, germs, germs, germs.
The germs crawl in;
The germs crawl out;
The germs play peanuckle
on your snout.
Germs, germs, germs, germs.
Germs, germs, germs, germs.
The germs are here; (right hand)
The germs are there; (left hand)
The germs are hiding everywhere!
(Make big circles with arms)
Germs, germs, germs, germs.
Germs, germs, germs, germs.
There's germs in your sneeze,
(sneeze in right hand)
There's germs in your cough,
(cough in your left hand)
There's germs on you hands that won't wipe off!
(rub hands like they are dirty)
Make up some more verses....
Washing Hand Song

Germs that are unseen.

until germs go down the drain.

YUMMY!!!!! Let's Eat!!
In an army voice while marching, call out this song: "We are healthy little ones (we are healthy little ones), watch us jump and watch us run (watch us jump and watch us run). Healthy bodies, healthy hearts (Healthy bodies, healthy hearts), we are winners from the start (we are winners from the start!)" After the teachers sing out each line, the kids repeat after you; ya know, just like the army does in boot camp. Get it?
Red Food (tune I've been working on the railroad)
Red is the color for an apple to eat.
Red is the color for cherries, too.
Red is the color for strawberries,
I like red food don't you?

Have the children name other things they can do to keep healthy and include them into the song.

Hand Washing Rap*
You gotta' wash your hands, and
You gotta' wash 'em right,
Don't give in to germs
Without a fight.
Use water that's warm
And lots of soapy bubbles,
These are your weapons for preventing germ troubles.
Don't cut your time short
Your fingers-get between-
It takes 20 seconds
To make sure they're clean.
Gotta' wash, gotta' wash
Gotta' wash your hands,
Gotta' wash, gotta' wash
Gotta' wash your hands.
