Healthy Habits Word Wall Cards

Was working on this word wall project for our Healthy Habits unit this January and I never got it completed until the unit was over...so I guess I'll have it ready for next year at this time!

This word wall card set includes these words:

• tooth, cavity, toothbrush, toothpaste, tooth fairy, floss, teeth, dentist, mouth, tongue, rinse, candy, sweets, comb, brush, bath tub, shower, shampoo, soap, tissue, hands, wash, sledding, healthy snacks, nose, heart, exercise, water, clothes, fruit, vegetable, pop, doctor, nurse, meat, bread, milk, food pyramid

Most of the clip art was from my clip art collection, but a few (steak, lollipop, soda, cake, candy, ice cream, clothes) are from Melonheadz.  She has some awesome freebies at her blog, so make sure to check out that!

Healthy Habits Riddles

Just finished our Healthy Habits Riddles set that we plan to use in the next few weeks.  We will be learning about ways to stay healthy (dental health, personal hygiene, eating healthy, exercise). 

If you haven't seen our riddles sets yet, the way you use this with our whole class is by passing the picture cards out to your students as they sit at your carpet.  Read aloud the riddles clues and students have to listen for the clues for their picture.  When they hear their clue they get to bring their picture to you.  Our first graders LOVE these activities.  Some people have said they utilize these type of riddles sets in a center.

Riddles are included for:  tooth, cavity, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, dentist, tooth fairy, kleenex/tissue, bathtub, soap, hands, nose, comb, brush, bed (sleep/rest), apple (healthy snack), sledding (winter exercise)

You can get this HERE at our TPT store.
