Instructions
1. When the children sneeze, sing the following song to remind them to cover
their nose and mouth.
The Achoo Song
(tune: "The Mexican Hat Dance")
Achoo, achoo,
Achoo, achoo, achoo,
Achoo, achoo,
Achoo, achoo, achoo,
When you sneeze
Cover your nose, please.
Achoo, achoo,
Achoo, achoo, achoo.
2. Say the last "achoo" in the song with great drama. Say, "ah," pause, "ah"
another pause, and finally a loud explosive "choo!" while you cover your own
mouth and nose.
3. If desired, on the last "achoo" reach for a tissue while drawing the sneeze out.
When you finally shout the last "choo," cover your nose and mouth with the
tissue.
