Facts for kids
Word for word as the game reads them aloud.
Two times a day
Brush your teeth in the morning and before bed, for about two minutes.
A pea of toothpaste
Children only need a little blob of toothpaste, as big as a pea.
Sugar bugs
Germs on your teeth love sugar. Brushing sweeps them away before they can make a hole.
Twenty little teeth
Young children have twenty baby teeth. Later, bigger teeth grow in their place.
Twenty seconds
Scrub your hands with soap for about twenty seconds. That is as long as a little song.
Between the fingers
Germs like to hide between your fingers and on the backs of your hands. Scrub there too!
When to wash
Wash your hands before eating, after the toilet, after playing outside, and after sneezing.
Water is the best
Your body needs water every day. When you are thirsty, water is the best drink.
Eat a rainbow
Fruit and vegetables of every color give your body different good things.
Treats are for sometimes
A cookie or an ice cream is fine now and then. Treats are for sometimes, not every day.
Sleep helps you grow
While you sleep, your body rests and grows. Children need lots of sleep, about ten hours or more.
Move every day
Running, jumping and climbing make your heart and muscles strong. Play outside every day!
Sneeze into your elbow
When you sneeze, turn into your elbow. Then the germs do not fly around or stick to your hands.
Questions kids ask
Why do I have to brush my teeth?
Brushing sweeps away germs and bits of food that stick to your teeth. Those germs love sugar and can make holes in your teeth, called cavities.
How long should I brush my teeth?
About two minutes, twice a day: last thing before bed and one other time, like in the morning. Brush every tooth, front and back, with little circles.
How much toothpaste do I need?
From age 3 to 6, a blob of fluoride toothpaste the size of a pea is enough, and under 3 just a thin smear. Spit it out afterward, but do not rinse with water.
Can I brush my teeth by myself?
You can practice, but a grown-up should brush with you or watch until you are about 7, to make sure every tooth gets clean.
Why do I need to wash my hands?
Germs you cannot see sit on your hands and can get into your mouth, nose and eyes. Soap and water wash them off, which helps you stay healthy.
How long should I scrub my hands?
At least twenty seconds, about as long as humming the Happy Birthday song twice. Scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails too.
When should I wash my hands?
Before eating, after the toilet, after playing outside or touching animals, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
Why do I sneeze into my elbow?
A sneeze sprays tiny drops full of germs. Your elbow catches them, so they do not fly around or end up on your hands. A tissue works too: throw it away and wash your hands.
What does eating a rainbow mean?
Fruit and vegetables of different colors give your body different good things. Try to have lots of colors on your plate over the day.
Can I have sweets?
Yes, sometimes. Treats are fine now and then, but not every day, and sugary food and drinks are hard on your teeth. When you are thirsty, water is the best drink.
How much sleep do I need?
A lot. Children aged 3 to 5 need 10 to 13 hours a day, naps included, and children aged 6 to 12 need 9 to 12 hours. Your body rests and grows while you sleep.
Why do we have a bedtime routine?
Doing the same calm things in the same order every night, like a bath, pajamas, teeth and a story, tells your body it is time to get sleepy. Going to bed at the same time each night helps too.
Talk about it
- What do you do every night before you go to sleep? What comes first?
- Which fruit or vegetable did you eat today? What color was it?
- When do you wash your hands during the day?
A rainbow snack hunt
Look in the kitchen together for fruit and vegetables in as many colors as you can find: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Put a little of each on a plate, name the colors and taste them together.
