Hygiene Matters Lesson Plan

Students will learn key personal hygiene practices—including handwashing, hair washing, teeth brushing, bathing, clothing care, and body odor management—and commit to one habit they’ll practice today.

Teaching a broad set of hygiene habits helps prevent illness, reduce body odors, and build lifelong self-care routines. This lesson empowers 4th graders to keep themselves healthy, confident, and fresh.
