Sing a Song
Wash Your Hands
Sing the hand washing song!
Wash your hands,
Before you eat,
A good health rule,
That’s hard to beat.
For better work,
For better play,
Eat three good meals,
Every day.

- Wet your hands with running water.
- Apply liquid, bar or powder soap.

- Rinse well.
- Dry your hands with a clean or disposable towel or air dryer.
