Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Students can explain why a changing body needs a daily hygiene routine that includes showering and deodorant.
Students can identify applying deodorant as a daily step to complete before getting dressed.

Teaching tips

Choose the boy or girl version to match the student, or use both if introducing the topic to a mixed group.
Laminate and bind the pages, or place them in a display book, since the contributor's own materials note the story is meant to be read repeatedly to reinforce the routine.
Pair the story with an actual demonstration of applying deodorant so the routine described on the page becomes a concrete daily action.

Skills covered

Body-awareness vocabulary — students connect body changes (sweating, hair growth) to the reasons a new hygiene step is needed.
Daily routine sequencing — students learn where deodorant fits in a daily self-care routine, applied before getting dressed.
