Teach children about why it is important to keep ourselves clean and healthy.
Looking after ourselves
What to do:
Use the set of pictures in the slideshow to show different scenarios that challenge health, wellbeing and/or comfort, and gather a basket of matching objects that will help to solve the health/wellbeing problem. For example, picture one is of rainy weather, this could be paired with a real pair of wellies; picture two shows a child eating sweets, this could be paired with a real toothbrush; picture three shows a crying child, this could be paired with a real teddy.
Working with a small group, choose a print out of one of the pictures such as ‘the rainy day’. Talk about being out in rainy weather, getting cold and wet and how we can prevent this from happening by wearing wellies and using an umbrella. Ask the children to choose items from the basket to go with the picture (the wellies) and place them side by side on a floor mat. Continue with other pictures and objects for as long as the children are interested.
