During the covid pandemic we all learned the importance of washing hands thoroughly. Boogie Mites wrote and published a song with supporting video to support this regular routine, making it fun while explaining the link with killing germs in a fun way.
Make hand washing fun with music!
At Boogie Mites, we know that it can be difficult to get children washing their hands the right way, regularly and thoroughly, and we know that music makes activities fun, so we’re offering a music and movement pack to help encourage just that.
Once you sign up, you’ll get access to 2 videos, an MP3 of the song and the song lyrics.
The first video is introduced by Harriet, the brains behind our original music, and she explains the Wash Your Hands song resource, talking through the actions. It then shows her leading the song in an early years setting.
You’ll see the children enjoying the activity, singing along and copying her actions. It’ll show you the most effective way to lead it yourself.
The second video is shows Harriet following the advised steps for hand washing with a child from the nursery. You’ll see her talk him through:
- Making hands wet
- Applying soap
- Rubbing palms together (and in-between fingers)
- Using one hand to rub on the top of the other hand (and in-between the fingers…then swapping hands)
- Washing each thumb with the other hand
- Rubbing the nails of one hand on the palm of the other hand (and vice-versa)
- Rubbing the fingertip of one hand on the palm of the other hand (and vice-versa)
- Washing wrists
- Rinsing thoroughly
- Drying thoroughly
