Handwashing

Learn a creative song spelling child’s name while washing hands

Teach the “My Name Song” to your child

My Name Song
(Sung to tune of BINGO)
There was a family who had a child
and Carly (insert child's name) was her name.
C - A - R - L - Y... C - A - R - L - Y... C - A - R - L - Y (spell child's name three times)
And Carly (insert child's name) was her name

 

Teach the child to wash hands for as long as it takes them to sing the Name Song for two reasons.

 

1.  This is how long it takes to remove germs. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state to scrub vigorously for 20 seconds 
2.  It is a reminder to conserve water as we turn off the water when the song is finished
