Washing up in the morning is an important part of the morning routine. In this lesson we’ll talk about some of the activities your child will do each day, including washing their hands and face, and brushing their teeth.

“洗漱”是早晨的例行事项中的重要部分。今天我们会聊一聊怎样用英语教小朋友洗手洗脸,刷牙等。

Are you ready? Let’s get started!

准备好了吗?让我们开始吧!


Your child is now up and out of bed, her bed is made and her room has been tidied. Now it’s time to wash up!

现在小朋友已经起床,并且铺好了床,房间也整理好了。现在该洗漱啦!

  • wash up: 洗漱

Generally a morning bathroom routine will include using the toilet, washing your hands and face, and brushing your teeth.

通常来讲,洗漱包含“上洗手间”,“洗手洗脸”,“刷牙”。

  • include: [ɪn'klud] 包含 动词
  • use the toilet: 上洗手间
  • brush: [brʌʃ] 刷 动词
  • teeth: [tiθ] tooth 的复数形式 牙齿 注意发音

Older children may have a shower in the morning as well. These activities are generally grouped together under the general term of washing or washing up.

较大的孩子可能会在早晨冲个澡,这些活动我们可以统称为“洗漱”。

  • washing up: 洗漱 动名词
  • shower: ['ʃaʊɚ] 冲澡 名词
  • as well: 也 副词词组
  • generally: ['dʒɛnrəli] 大概地 副词

Ok, let’s practice some examples!

让我们来练习几个例子吧!

You can say "It’s time to wash!” or “Let’s go wash!"

你可以说:“到点洗漱啦!”“让我们去洗漱吧!”

  • wash: [wɒʃ] 洗 动词 注意发音

You can include other words in your sentence, like wash your sth. Some of the words you can use here are:

我们可以具体一点,洗XX。比如:

  • hand: [hænd] 手 名词
  • face: [feɪs] 脸 名词
  • Wash your hands! 洗手!
  • Wash your face! 洗脸!

You can say "Let’s go wash!"

“让我们一起洗漱吧!”

"Time to wash!"

“到洗漱时间了!”

After your child has used the toilet, he will need to wash his hands. Often children need to be reminded of this.

小朋友上完洗手间之后,需要洗手,通常他们需要爸爸妈妈们的提醒。

  • be reminded of: 被提醒XX

So you can say: "Emily, Remember to wash your hands!” or “Daniel, don’t forget to wash your hands!"

“Emily, 记得洗手哦!”或者“Daniel,不要忘记洗手哦!”

  • remember: [rɪ'mɛmbɚ] 记得 动词
  • don't forget+句子: 不要忘记XXX

If your child is still learning, this is an opportunity to use Behavioral Show & Tell to demonstrate how to properly do it.

如果你的小朋友还在学习的话,那么这是一个很好的用“讲解与演示”的育儿技巧告诉孩子应该怎么做的机会。

"Watch Mommy. See how I wash my hands. First, you wet your hands, then rub the soap between your hands. Rub your hands together, while counting to 10. Then you rinse you hands, and you are ready to dry them!"

“看,看妈咪是怎么洗手的:一打湿你的小手,二擦擦香皂,三搓搓小手,同时从1数到10,数完就可以冲干净小手并擦干啦!”

  • watch: [wɑtʃ] 观察 动词
  • wet: [wɛt] 打湿 动词
  • rub: [rʌb] 搓 动词
  • soap: [səʊp] 肥皂 名词
  • meanwhile: ['miːnwaɪl] 同时 副词
  • rinse: [rɪns] 冲洗 动词
  • dry: [draɪ] 使干燥 动词

You can also make a game out of this, such as seeing how many bubbles she can make when she rubs her hands together.

你也可以将洗手当成游戏,比如看看小朋友搓手的时候能搓出多少泡泡。

  • bubbles: ['bʌbl] 泡泡 名词

After your child has washed her hands, the next activity is usually to wash her face with a wet cloth.

洗完手之后,接下来就是用湿毛巾擦脸啦!

  • cloth:[klɔθ] 布 名词

"Doudou, can you wash your face?"

“豆豆,你可以洗一下脸吗?”

"Mia, let’s wash your face!"

“Mia,我们一起来洗脸吧!”

"Let's scrub those cheeks!"

“让我们擦一擦小脸蛋!”

  • squeeze: [skwiːz] 拧 动词
  • facecloth: ['feɪsklɒθ] 擦脸巾 名词

Children can often have a favorite cloth for washing their face, which may be decorated with a cute animal or cartoon character, to make washing more fun.

孩子们经常都会有一块最喜欢的洗脸巾,这款洗脸巾上也许有可爱的动物或者卡通人物。他们觉得用这块洗脸巾会更加有趣。

  • decorate: ['dekəreɪt] 装饰 动词
  • cartoon character: 卡通形象

You can say "Xiyangyang loves to kiss your little cheeks!" or "Batman can help clean your face!"

你可以对小朋友说:“喜羊羊特别喜欢亲你的小脸蛋!” “蝙蝠侠可以帮你洗干净小脸蛋哦!”

Another washing up activity your child can do is brushing his teeth. You will need to help at first but as they get older, this is an activity they can easily do themselves.

洗完脸之后就到了刷牙时间了!小朋友一开始可能需要帮助,但等他们大一点,刷牙就可以自己轻松独立完成啦!

  • (by) themselves: 他们自己做

"Emily, your breath is stinky stinky, you need to brush your teeth!"

“Emily,你的嘴巴(口气)臭臭的,得刷牙啦!”

  • stinky: ['stɪŋki] 臭的 形容词

"Doudou, it's time to brush your teeth!"

“豆豆,到了刷牙的时间了!”

This can be another perfect opportunity to practice counting in English, as your child can count the teeth they brush.

刷牙是一个很棒的学习英语数字的机会,比如边一颗一颗刷牙边英语数数!

One…

Two…

Three…

Four…

Five…

Six…

And so on.

You can even make up a song or rhyme to help your child enjoy brushing her teeth.

爸爸妈妈们也可以创造一些和小朋友刷牙有关的英文歌哦!

Brush Brush Brush, Brush Your Teeth.

Now Your Breath Will Soon Be Sweet!


刷刷刷,刷刷牙!

哇!好清新的口气!

Swish Swish Swish, Spit It Out.

That’s What Brushing’s All About!

咕噜咕噜,吐出来!

哇,刷牙就是这么简单!


  • swish: [swɪʃ] 发出咕噜咕噜漱口的声音 动词
  • spit: [spɪt] 吐 动词

Together with a fun colored toothbrush and tasty flavored toothpaste, your child can easily learn to have fun brushing their teeth each morning.

用一个颜色吸引小朋友的牙刷加上小朋友喜欢的味道的牙膏,小朋友就能体会到在早上刷牙的乐趣啦!

  • toothbrush: ['tuθbrʌʃ] 牙刷 名词
  • paste: [peɪst] 膏状物 名词
  • toothpaste: ['tuːθpeɪst] 牙膏 名词

"Amy, look, your new toothbrush is pink, your favorite color!"

"Daniel, yum, this toothpaste is orange flavored."

“Daniel,好好吃!这个牙膏是句子口味的!”

  • orange flavored: 橘子口味的

When your child is just learning how to brush, they will need supervision and help, this can be a fun activity to do together, and can even be made into a game.

如果你的小孩还在学习怎么刷牙,他们需要大人的监督和帮助,大人可以将刷牙变成有趣的活动,甚至是游戏!

"Let's brush our teeth together! Ready? Go!"

“让我们一起刷牙吧!准备好了?开始!”

"I bet I can brush better!"
