Lesson Plan

Hygiene Heroes Lesson Plan

Students will learn about key hygiene helpers (doctors, dentists, nurses), connect each hero to healthy habits through a read-aloud, coloring activity, and share who inspires them to stay clean.

Introducing hygiene helpers builds vocabulary, models healthy routines, and fosters respect for community helpers. This lesson promotes personal hygiene awareness in a fun, age-appropriate way.

Hygiene Heroes

Welcome the students and introduce the lesson. Explain that today we’ll meet special helpers called Hygiene Heroes who keep us clean and healthy.

Warm-Up: Healthy Habits

Ask students: “What do you do to stay healthy every day?” Solicit 2–3 volunteers, then introduce today’s topic.

Meet the Hygiene Heroes

Have students gather on the carpet. Display the story document and guide them through the read-aloud.

Tools of the Heroes

After reading, point out each hero’s tool and ask comprehension questions: “Why does the dentist use that mirror?”

Hero Coloring Pages

Hand out the coloring worksheet and crayons. Encourage neat coloring and drawing of a healthy habit from home.

Who’s Your Hero?

Display the discussion sheet on chart paper. Call on 3–4 students to share their favorite hero and habit. Record responses.

Wrap-Up

Review the key points. Ask students to turn to a neighbor and tell one healthy habit they’ll practice today. Praise their ideas.
