About this resource
Description
Strong, healthy teeth start with a few simple daily habits, and first graders are exactly the right age to learn them. This Keeping Your Teeth Healthy Worksheet asks children to think about the foods they eat and the tools they use, then decide which ones actually help their smile. Sugary treats, crunchy fruit, a toothbrush and a container of floss all appear side by side, so children have to stop, look, and reason about each one instead of guessing.
This first grade health and nutrition worksheet is ready to print and use with no preparation. In Part A, children study four pictures and fill in the bubble for Yes or No to show whether each item is healthy for their teeth. In Part B, they read three short sentences about brushing, flossing and visiting the dentist, then choose the right word from the word box and write it on the line. Use it during a health unit, as morning work, as a quick review before a dental-health assembly, or as homework families can talk about together at the sink.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 4 picture Yes-or-No items and 3 word-box sentences
There are three reasons this Keeping Your Teeth Healthy Worksheet helps children learn the skill. First, the pictures let children judge real, familiar items, which is how dental choices actually happen at snack time. Second, the word box builds the vocabulary a child needs to talk about dental care, so floss, toothbrush and dentist become words they can read and write. Third, the two-part format moves children from recognizing to explaining, giving teachers a quick check of who understands and who needs another conversation.
Teachers and parents can stretch the lesson in a few easy ways. Bring in a real toothbrush and a two-minute timer and practice brushing motions together. Sort snack pictures from grocery ads into a good-for-teeth pile and a sometimes-treat pile. Ask children to draw a poster showing their own morning and bedtime routine, or keep a week-long brushing chart on the refrigerator. A quick call-and-response song makes the two-minute rule stick better than a reminder ever will.
