Keeping Clean

• I know how and why I should keep myself clean. • I can look closely and record what I see. • I can name some things I can do to keep myself clean. • I can give at least one reason why humans should keep themselves clean. • I can use a magnifying glass to look closely. • I can record what I see.

Germs are everywhere! They are on the inside and outside of our bodies, and on everything we touch. Most of these germs are harmless, but some of them can make us ill. When you feel poorly, it’s likely that a germ is to blame. Because of this, it’s very important for humans to keep clean. Sometimes we call this ‘hygiene’. What things do humans do to keep themselves clean?

Here are some of the things that all humans should do to keep clean. Did you think of any others? Why is it important that we do these things to keep clean? Having a bath Having a shower Washing our face Brushing our teeth Cutting our nails Washing our hair Wearing clean clothes

We wash our bodies, hair and faces to stop them looking and smelling dirty. If we do not cut our nails, dirt and germs collect underneath them. This doesn’t look very nice! If these germs get in our mouths, they can make us ill.

If we do not clean our teeth, germs in our mouth can cause cavities. These are holes in our teeth, that can be very painful. Brushing our teeth also makes our mouths feel and smell fresh and clean. We must brush our teeth with toothpaste every morning and every night.

If we don’t change our clothes, they start to look dirty and will smell bad. Underwear and socks are worn close to the body and should be changed every day. Some clothes, like jumpers and cardigans, can be worn again as long as they look and smell clean.

Hand washing is very important in keeping clean and well. Because we use our hands for touching, they pick up LOTS of germs. If we don’t keep our hands clean, then we spread these germs around. The germs from our hands can end up inside our bodies and make us ill. Sometimes we give the germs to someone else, and then they can get ill too! When do we need to wash our hands?

Shuffle together all the Hygiene Hero and Oh No! Game Cards and place them face down in the middle, between all the players. Give each player 2 Germ Gang Tokens. The player who has had the most recent birthday goes first. Take turns picking up a Game Card from the pile. Read the card aloud. If you picked up a Hygiene Hero Card, you can discard one of your Germ Gang Tokens. If you picked up an Oh No! Card, pick up a Germ Gang Token and add it to your pile. When all the Game Cards have been used, count your Germ Gang Tokens. The person with the fewest Germ Gang Tokens is today’s Hygiene Hero!

Watch the mime and guess the action that we do to keep ourselves clean. If you have it on your bingo board, cross it off. The first team to cross off all the actions on their bingo board wins!
