Can anyone tell me what ‘hygiene’ means? Yes, great answers! Hygiene means keeping ourselves clean and healthy. It helps us feel good and prevents us from getting sick. Who can share one way that they stay clean? Wonderful! Let’s think of some more ways we can stay clean and healthy throughout the lesson."
"Now, let’s have a quick look at what you did for your homework last time. I want to hear some of the ideas you came up with at home about hygiene. You don't need to present anything, just share your thoughts! Who would like to start? That’s fantastic! These are some very helpful ideas. Remember, it’s crucial to wash our hands, brush our teeth, and keep our spaces clean. Good job, everyone!"
"Let’s dive a bit deeper into different hygiene practices now! I have some pictures here on the board. Does anyone recognize what this is? (Point to a picture of a soap bar) Yes, that’s soap! Who can tell me why soap is important? Exactly; soap helps us wash away germs! And what about this? (Point to a toothbrush) Right! We use toothbrushes to keep our teeth clean. Can anyone tell me how many times we should brush our teeth each day? You got it! Twice! Isn't it fun learning how to stay clean?"
"Now, I have some special hygiene cards for each of you. I’m going to hand these out, and I want you to pay close attention to what we will be writing on them. These cards will help us remember the important things we just talked about. (Distribute cards) Okay, does everyone have their card? Great! We’ll be working on these together shortly."
"Now, let’s all fill in our hygiene cards! On your card, write down things you do to keep clean. Remember the practices we discussed, like washing your hands before eating and brushing your teeth. I want you to think about at least three different hygiene practices. (Walk around the classroom as they work) I’ll be here if you need any help or have questions!"
"Time’s up! Can I have everyone’s attention, please? I would like to collect your hygiene cards now. I will quickly check some of them to see what you have written. Let me just look at these... (Collect cards and randomly check some) Wow, you’ve all done a fantastic job! This shows how much you understand about hygiene."
"Before we finish today’s lesson, I want to talk about your homework. For your next class, I’d like you to think of one hygiene practice you can improve on at home and try to follow it for a week. When we meet next time, I’ll ask you about how it went! Does everyone understand? Awesome!"
"To wrap up our lesson today, let’s review what we’ve learned about hygiene. Remember, it’s so important to wash our hands, brush our teeth, and keep everything around us clean. Practicing good hygiene every day helps us stay healthy and feel our best. Thank you all for your fantastic participation today! I can’t wait to hear about your homework next time!"
