we play Cleanliness Bingo with pictures n stuff related to hygiene practices.
Kids mark the pictures as we discuss each one, and when they complete a
row, they get a small reward. -
During snack time, we use colorful placemats with pictures of healthy foods and hygiene practices. We talk about each picture, making it a routine to discuss cleanliness while they eat. It helps them associate good hygiene with mealtime

I’d introduce a “Mystery Inspector” role, where a different student
each day gets to inspect the cleanliness of the class anonymously and
award points or recognition to peers who did an exceptional job, turning
cleanliness into a fun and rewarding responsibility. -
I like to sing a handwashing song when washing children’s hands after toileting and before snack, to help them learn proper technique, as it includes phrases with proper handwashing etiquette, such as “fronts and backs and in between”
