The experience

Sit back and listen to this wonderful song, sung by Katy and Paige.

“This is the way” (in the tune of "Mulberry Bush") is a traditional English nursery rhyme that was first published in the 1840s. It is still very popular among the children, and it is often used as a "singing game".

In this song, children should imitate the activities mentioned in the specific verses with their hands. Lyrics:

This is the way we wash our hands, wash our face, wash our hands. This is the way we wash our hands. On a lovely sunny morning.

This is the way we wash our face, wash our face, wash our face. This is the way we wash our face. On a lovely sunny morning.

This is the way we brush our hair, comb our hair, brush our hair. This is the way we brush our hair. On a lovely sunny morning.

This is the way we brush our teeth, brush our teeth, brush our teeth. This is the way we brush our teeth. Early in the morning.
