My amiga, Catherine, at speakspanisheveryday.com wrote this Spanish song to encourage kids to wash their hands. It’s a fantastic content-related song related to elementary health curriculum.
Lávase las Manos
**To the tune of Feliz Navidad
Lávase las manos cha. . cha. . cha . . cha . . cha. . . cha.
Lávase las manos cha. . . cha. . . cha . . cha . . . cha . . . cha.
Agua caliente, jabón y quince segundos,
Cha . . . cha . . . cha . . .cha . . .cha . . cha!
Qué tengas buena salud
Qué tengas buena salud
Qué tengas buena salud
Desde mi corazón
English Translation:
Wash your hands . . .
Wash your hands . .
Hot water, soap, and fifteen seconds
(I want) that you are healthy
That you are healthy
That you are healthy
From my heart
