Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Read a printed set of steps and carry them out in the order given

  • Demonstrate correct toothbrushing to a partner using the cut-out toothbrush and teeth

  • Show a familiar routine to someone else by explaining and demonstrating the printed sequence

Teaching tips

  • Scissors are needed from the start — the teeth sets and toothbrush are cut from the same page students read the steps on

  • Pair students up before handing the sheet out, since the task ends in a demonstration to a classmate rather than in written work

  • The cut-outs are the only props involved, so printing on card or laminating them keeps a set usable across several groups

Skills covered

  • Following printed directions — students read the toothbrushing steps down the page before touching the cut-outs.

  • Sequencing a routine — the demonstration has to be performed in the correct order, which is what the page is set up to check.

  • Explaining to a peer — the finished task is showing a classmate the right way to brush, using the cut-out toothbrush against the cut-out teeth.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What are the cut-out pieces used for?

They are props for the demonstration. The teeth sets and the toothbrush are cut from the foot of the page, and the direction is to use the toothbrush to show a classmate the correct way to brush — so the brushing motion is acted out on the paper teeth rather than written down.
