Hygiene Habits Highlights

Welcome everyone! Today we’re going to explore simple daily hygiene routines that help us stay healthy and confident. Let’s dive in and discover how small habits make a big difference.

Learning Objectives

Review our goals so students know what to expect. Encourage them to think of questions as we go.

Brushing Your Teeth

Ask: “Who brushes their teeth every morning and night?” Highlight common practices and explain why the 2-minute rule matters.

Handwashing

Demonstrate a quick handwashing technique. Optionally play a 20-second song students can hum as they scrub.

Bathing & Showering

Discuss frequency (“every day?”) and ask if anyone showers twice a day. Emphasize focus areas like underarms and feet.

Hair Care

Ask students to name hair products they use. Explain how a clean scalp promotes healthy growth.

Nail Care

Show a pair of clippers and a nail brush. Emphasize safety when trimming.

Recap & Next Steps

Briefly recap each routine and set the stage for the next activity (tracking their own routines).
