Hygiene Worksheet: Identify Unhygienic Behaviors

How to use this worksheet

Look at each picture together and describe what's happening in the scene. Ask your child whether the behavior shown is a healthy habit or an unhygienic one, and why. Have them cross out the pictures or actions that show unhygienic behavior, like not washing hands or sharing a toothbrush. Once finished, go back through the page and talk about what the correct, hygienic version of each behavior would look like instead.
