Hygiene Hero Chart
Help students build healthy hygiene habits with the Hygiene Hero Chart! This weekly tracking chart encourages children to monitor their daily hygiene practices, such as handwashing, toothbrushing, and bathing, while promoting self-responsibility and awareness. Perfect for instilling good hygiene habits in a fun and structured way, this resource can be used in classrooms or at home to support health and wellbeing.
Learning goals

- We are learning to identify trusted people and demonstrate ways to stay safe and healthy.
- We are learning to identify actions that help promote health, safety and wellbeing.
- We are learning to investigate how emotional responses vary in depth and strength by recognising and comparing different emotional reactions to various situations.
