Description
Build independence in life skills, dental hygiene, self-care, and social skills with this repetitive, step-by-step activity. Students learn what happens when someone gets dressed but forgets to brush their teeth—leading to an uncomfortable social consequence. What’s Inside & How to Use: 63 slides total: 21 people × 3-slide sequences “I got dressed.” “But, I didn’t brush my teeth.” Social consequence — “Yuck! Your breath smells really bad. I bet you didn’t brush your teeth.” Pause and discuss at each step: Why is brushing teeth part of a morning routine? How do others feel when we don’t? Encourage students to explain that forgetting to brush affects hygiene and makes others not want to be close or interact socially.
