Hand washing song for kids
Bye Germs!
A tiny hand washing song for rub, scrub, rinse, dry, and one clean little wave.
What is Bye Germs?
Bye Germs! is a short routine song for hand washing. It gives children a cheerful sequence they can hear and repeat: rub with soap, scrub in between, rinse, dry, and wave clean hands high.
The tiny routine
- Rub. Start with soap and a little bubbly motion.
- Scrub. Make circles and remember in between.
- Rinse. Let the bubbles swish away.
- Dry. Dry hands well with a towel.
- Wave. End with a happy little “Bye germs!”
Why parents might use it
Everyday routines are easier when the next step feels visible. Bye Germs! is designed as a playful cue for one small moment, not a lecture and not a promise of perfect hand washing.
Parent note: This song is a playful routine cue, not medical advice. Grown-ups should help children wash hands safely.
Lyrics
Rub, rub, rub your hands,
With some soapy goo.
Circles, scrub, and in between,
Germs go away! Shoo!
Swish, swish, swish your hands,
Watch the bubbles fly.
Rinse ’em off, then dry them well,
Wave your clean hands high!
Bye germs!
