Sing a Song
The Clean and Happy Club by Peggy Collins
Rub-a-dub and scrub-a dub. (Rub left arm, rub right arm.)
Join the Clean and Happy Club! (Make a big inward circle with arms.)
Washing yourself will make you clean. (Pretend to wash self all over.)
And a clean self is a happy self. (Point to mouth and make a big smile.)
And a happy self is a clean self. (Sway back and forth to music.)
Rub-a-dub and scrub-a-dub. (Rub left arm, rub right arm.)
Join the Clean and Happy Club! (Make a big inward circle with arms.)
Washing yourself will make you clean. (Pretend to wash self all over.)

Try This
Make bath time fun with lots of cups and plastic spoons for pouring and mixing. While your child is playing you can narrate what they are doing. Examples - "You picked up the cup and are dumping it into the water" and "You picked up the spoon and dropped it into the water. Did you hear the sound it made? It went PLOP!" Narrating what your child is doing will help build vocabulary.
