Lesson Plan

Hygiene Foundations Plan

Students will learn why personal hygiene is vital by identifying daily habits that prevent illness and promote well-being. They will play a germ-identification game, discuss clean vs. unclean behaviors, and track their own routines to build healthy habits.

Good hygiene reduces sickness, builds confidence, and supports a healthy classroom and community. Early mastery of daily hygiene habits fosters lifelong wellness.
