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.
