(I'm Gonna) Wash My Hands

This pop-punk song teaches kids the steps for how to wash their hands, and includes time to practice handwashing. Songs like this can help kids transition to tasks like washing their hands more quickly and independently. By memorizing the words, kids will remember good moments to practice good hand hygiene and they'll remember the steps for how to do it more independently. Leave your requests in the comments!

LYRICS:
Wash my hands
I just went potty, so I’ll give my mitts a soak
I’m just hanging with my buddy and my buddy’s name is soap
Reaching for the handle, gonna turn the faucet on
Mixing up the hot and cold until the water’s warm
I’m gonna wash my hands (grab the soap and wash the front and the back)
Wash my hands (see a sudsy lather, then you know that you’re on track)
Wash my hands (rinse off all the bubbles from the front and the sides)
Wash my hands (turn off the water and now it’s time to dry)
To dry, dry my hands
Mom calls me for dinner now I know what to do
Head over to the kitchen sink. It’s time for round two
Reaching for the nozzle, gonna turn that water on
I know it’s time to eat, but first I gotta sing this song
I’m gonna wash my hands (grab the soap and wash the front and the back)
Wash my hands (see a sudsy lather, then you know that you’re on track)
Wash my hands (rinse off all the bubbles from the front and the sides)
Wash my hands (turn off the water and now it’s time to dry)
To dry, dry my hands
Yo! TT’s about to drop some bars of soap on ya
My fingernails are gritty. Got an itty bitty brush
‘Til my cuticles are beautiful enough to make you blush
Telescope me like I’m Hubble bubbles bouncing off my palms
We snackin’ and we stackin’ bread, just like Jimmy John’s
I’m gonna wash my hands (grab the soap and wash the front and the back)
Wash my hands (see a sudsy lather, then you know that you’re on track)
Wash my hands (rinse off all the bubbles from the front and the sides)
Wash my hands (turn off the water and now it’s time to dry)
To dry, dry my hands
