Let’s Learn About Germs and Cleanliness!

Hi there! Do you know what germs are? Germs are tiny little things that like to live in dirty places. They can make us sick, so we need to keep them away!

How to Keep Germs Away

Germs love to hide on our hands, especially after we play outside, use the restroom, or before we eat. But don’t worry! We can wash them away with soap and water.

Washing Hands

Here’s how to wash your hands:

  • Get your hands wet with water.
  • Add some soap and make lots of bubbles!
  • Rub your hands together, don’t forget between your fingers!
  • Rinse the bubbles off with water.
  • Dry your hands with a towel.

Now your hands are clean, and the germs are gone!

Brushing Your Teeth

It’s also important to brush your teeth every day. This keeps your teeth strong and healthy.

How to Brush Your Teeth

Here’s a fun way to brush your teeth:

  • Put some toothpaste on your toothbrush.
  • Brush all around your teeth, top and bottom.
  • Don’t forget to brush your tongue!
  • Spit out the toothpaste and rinse your mouth with water.

Remember, don’t run while brushing your teeth. It’s safer to stand still!

Keeping Your Bed Clean

Eating in bed can be messy and attract bugs. Bugs can make you itchy and uncomfortable.

How to Keep Bugs Away

To keep bugs away, make sure to:

  • Eat at the table, not in bed.
  • Clean up crumbs and spills right away.
  • Keep your room tidy and clean.

Crossing the Street Safely

When you cross the street, always look at the traffic lights. They tell us when it’s safe to go.

Traffic Light Rules

Here’s how to cross the street safely:

  • Stop at the red light.
  • Go when the light turns green.
  • Hold an adult’s hand and look both ways for cars.

Bath Time Fun

Taking a bath keeps us clean and fresh. It’s also a fun time to play with bubbles!

How to Take a Bath

Here’s how to enjoy bath time:

  • Make sure the water is just right, not too hot or cold.
  • Use shampoo for your hair and soap for your body.
  • Be careful not to slip on the wet floor.
  • Dry off with a towel from head to toe.

Now you’re all clean and ready to play!

Remember!

Washing your hands, brushing your teeth, keeping your bed clean, crossing the street safely, and taking baths are all important ways to stay healthy and happy. Let’s keep learning and having fun!

Discussion Questions

  1. Can you think of a time when you washed your hands after playing outside? How did it feel to have clean hands?
  2. What are some fun things you like to do during bath time? Do you have a favorite bath toy or game?
  3. Why do you think it’s important to brush your teeth every day? How does it make your mouth feel afterward?

Lesson Activities

  1. Germ Detective: Become a germ detective at home! With the help of an adult, use a magnifying glass to look at different surfaces like doorknobs, tables, and toys. Discuss where germs might be hiding and why it’s important to clean these areas. Can you find any spots that need cleaning?

  2. Handwashing Song: Create a fun handwashing song with your friends or family. Use the steps of washing hands as lyrics and sing it every time you wash your hands. This will help you remember all the steps and make handwashing fun!

  3. Traffic Light Game: Play a traffic light game with your friends. One person is the “traffic light” and calls out “red light” or “green light.” When “red light” is called, everyone must stop. When “green light” is called, everyone can move. This helps practice stopping and going safely, just like crossing the street.
