What is hygiene?
Answer
Hygiene means keeping ourselves and our surroundings clean and healthy. Examples: washing hands, brushing teeth, and cleaning our homes.
Why should we wash our hands before eating?
Answer
We wash hands before eating to remove germs that can make us sick. Germs from dirt, animals, or toilets can enter our body through food.
How long should you scrub your hands with soap?
Answer
You should scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Sing 'Happy Birthday' twice to time it!
When should you wash your hands?
Answer
Wash hands before eating, after using the toilet, after playing outside, after touching animals, and after coughing or sneezing.
Why is brushing teeth important?
Answer
Brushing removes food particles and germs from teeth. It prevents tooth decay and keeps breath fresh. Brush twice daily—morning and night.
What happens if you don't brush your teeth?
Answer
Germs grow in your mouth and can cause tooth decay, pain, and bad breath. It may lead to cavities and doctor visits.
Why should you rinse your mouth after meals?
Answer
Rinsing removes food stuck between teeth. It helps keep your mouth clean until you can brush properly.
Why is bathing important?

Bathing removes sweat, dirt, and germs from the skin. It keeps pores open and prevents body odour and skin infections.
