Hygiene Scenarios

This activity is designed to engage you in role-playing different real-life situations that highlight the importance of personal hygiene. By acting out these scenarios, you will learn not only why hygiene is crucial for preventing illness but also how it impacts your social interactions.

Activity Instructions

1. Group Formation: Divide into small groups of 3-4 students. Each group will receive a different scenario card.
   
   
   

2. Scenario Discussion: Within your group, read your assigned scenario. Discuss the situation and decide on a role-play strategy to address the challenges presented by poor hygiene or to showcase best practices of good hygiene.
   
   
   
   
   
   

3. Role-Playing: Perform your role-play in front of the class. Each role-play should last about 3-5 minutes. Try to include aspects of how personal hygiene affects both health and social interactions.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

4. Class Discussion: After each group performs, participate in a brief discussion. Reflect on what worked, what could be improved, and how the scenario relates to daily life.
