Hey there! Do you know why it’s important to brush your teeth? It’s because little germs called cavities love to live on teeth that aren’t clean. They really like candy and juice, and they can make your teeth hurt if you don’t brush them away!
Let’s learn how to brush our teeth together! First, we need some toothpaste. Squeeze a little bit onto your toothbrush. Then, it’s time for the toothbrush to do its job! Brush from the front to the back, and don’t forget the upper and lower teeth. Brush them clean, brush them clean, let’s brush our teeth!
When you brush your teeth, the germs have no place to stay. They don’t like toothbrushes at all! So, remember to brush every day to keep those germs away.
Did you know that toothbrushes come in different sizes? Some are big, and some are small. Just like bubbles! Have you ever seen a big bubble and a small bubble? They’re so much fun to play with!
When you brush your teeth, make sure you don’t run around. It can be dangerous. Let’s sing a song about brushing teeth safely: “Time to brush your teeth, I am ready. Let’s brush our teeth together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let’s brush our teeth!”
After playing, it’s important to wash your hands. Germs like to hide on dirty hands. So, rinse your hands with water, scrub your palms and between your fingers, and make sure both hands are clean. The germs will run away, and your hands will be nice and clean!
Germs love to eat candy and cakes, but they are scared of toothbrushes. So, if you brush your teeth, the germs will run away, and your teeth will stay healthy and strong!
Remember, brushing your teeth and washing your hands are important ways to keep germs away. Let’s stay clean and healthy every day!
Toothbrush Painting: Let’s use our toothbrushes for a fun art project! Dip an old toothbrush in some paint and gently brush it across a piece of paper. Notice how the bristles create different patterns. Talk about how brushing your teeth is similar to painting because you move the brush back and forth to cover all the surfaces.
Germ Detective: Become a germ detective! Look around your home or classroom and find places where germs might like to hide, like doorknobs or toys. Use a magnifying glass if you have one. Discuss why it’s important to wash your hands after touching these things and how brushing your teeth helps keep germs away from your mouth.
Brushing Song and Dance: Create your own song and dance about brushing teeth. Use the tune from your favorite song and make up words about brushing the front, back, and top of your teeth. Perform your song and dance for your family or friends, and teach them why brushing is important.
