Brush Teeth: Procedure Jumble

Overview:

A jumbled brushing teeth procedure activity where students cut and paste to arrange the steps, pictures, and headings in the correct order. Designed for middle years students to develop sequencing and procedural writing skills.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop organisational skills by sequencing the steps for brushing teeth.
• Understand the structure of a procedure, including steps and important actions.
• Improve reading comprehension and the ability to follow instructions.

How the Activity Works:

The procedure for brushing teeth is provided in a jumbled order, with steps, pictures, and headings mixed up. Students will cut and paste the pieces to correctly sequence the steps of brushing teeth, from gathering the toothbrush to cleaning up. After sequencing, students can review the steps, discussing the importance of each action in maintaining good dental hygiene. This hands-on activity helps students practise organisational skills while learning a valuable daily routine.
