Have them write their name on the cup and push the bottom of the toothbrush through the bottom of the cup. Now they have their own holder. Take them to the bathroom or sink area in groups and let them brush their teeth. Make sure there is a mirror so they can watch themselves. Put the toothbrushes and their holders in a safe place to brush again tomorrow or to take home.
Conclusion Have students discuss how their teeth and mouth feel after brushing.
Discuss meanings of words Develop vocabulary through meaningful and concrete experiences Materials Yarn for every two children Dental floss for each child Procedure Explain to children that flossing teeth is just as important as brushing them because floss gets all of the things brushing misses. Have each pair of students face each other. Show the flosser how to twist the yarn around each finger for a good grip. The flosser then takes the yarn and flosses between the fingers in an up and down motion scraping the sides between the fingers. When they are done, have them switch jobs.
