CDC Guidelines to Washing Hands
- Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
- Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
- Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
- Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
Broadway song examples:
“Tomorrow” from Annie
The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There’ll be sun
Just thinkin’ about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
’Til there’s none
“Seasons of Love” from Rent
525,600 minutes
525,000 moments so dear
525,600 minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
“My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music
Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
“Do Re Mi” from The Sound of Music
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
