1. I Like the Pit Pit Patter of the Raindrops.
A song our grandkids love to sing in the car with us and if you sing it through at the speed I sing it in the video then it is just over the 20 secs. But if you want to sing it fast then sing it twice and it will be the more than enough time for that important handwash time.

Now watch the video below to learn the tune

2. Wash Your Hands (to Baby Shark).
Everyone loves Baby Shark so why not change the words slightly
Because it is so well-known you won't need a printable for this one or really even a video to help you learn it (but for the fun of it I just might do one later).
The Words:
Wash Your Hands (instead of Baby Shark)
sing it twice
or
why not personalize it by getting the children sing each others names or your name
ie. Wash your hands mummy, mummy, mummy
Wash your hands daddy, daddy, daddy
Wash your hands nanny, nanny, nanny
Wash your hands grandpa, grandpa, grandpa
3. Love One Another Like Sister and Brother.
A song that is very easy to learn and very easy to sing and definitely lasts over the 20 secs. Fred timed me before we did the video and he said 25 secs. But I think I actually sang it slower on the video than I did when he was timing me.

4. I Can Do All Things .
This is a song that will help the kids to learn a Bible Verse at the same time so a double blessing here.
It's based on Philippians 4 v 13 and the reference is actually included in the song too.

HERE for a sound recording of the song that Fred and I make a few years back.
Hopefully I will add a video for the song later.

This is a lovely gentle song encouraging the kids to pray often during the day.

Whisper a prayer in the morning
Whisper a prayer at noon
Whisper a prayer in the evening
To keep your heart in tune.

Parents what an timely opportunity this is to teach your children the Lords Prayer.
Of course before you do this you might like to use the time you are washing your hands to say the Lords Prayer because my son did tell me that it is the right length for our 20 sec hand washing regime.
Our oldest son is a Pastor and Theology lecturer in a Bible College and he assures me he instructed his students to use this as a good opportunity to pray while they were all still at the college during the start of virus lockdown, now they have gone home and the teaching is all online.
Because it is so well-known you won't need a printable for this one or really even a video to help you learn it (but for the fun of it I just might do a nice Graphic for you later).
