Sing a song while washing hands to encourage the children to follow the proper hand washing procedure. Encourage them to do as much of the routine independently while you are near to assist when needed and ensure that the children wash their hands correctly. Here is an example of a song you can use to the tune of "If You're Happy":

If they're dirty and you know it,

wash your hands.

If they're dirty and you know it,

wash your hands.

If they're dirty and you know it,

then your hands will surely show it.

If they're dirty and you know it,

wash your hands.
