Dental Hygiene Month Activities

1-2-3 Come Play A Game With Me!

Whenever I design a lesson I try to theme it to something that is going on during the month I'll be teaching it.

Since February is Dental Hygiene Month, a lot of teachers do lessons involving teeth. 

I thought it would be fun to design a "Tooth Time" activity, so that you could review telling time to the hour. 

It's a nice plug in for your other dental activities, as it's always time to remember to brush your teeth.

For one game, students spin the tooth clock.  Whatever time they land on, they write down the digital time on their toothbrush log. 

The first one to fill in all of the times, or has the most completed, when the timer rings, is the winner.

In the second game students practice their math skills. 

Children roll first one dice, 'til they have filled in their tooth clock from 1-6.  When they have accomplished that, they roll two dice and add them together, so they can fill in the remaining times.
