This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn presentation and management skills. These types of presentations will look great on a college application or job resume.
“Scrubby Bear”
Creative storytelling, instructive handouts and a video program make Scrubby Bear the easiest, most entertaining and most memorable way to teach the fundamentals of proper hand-washing and hygiene skills. Children in grades K-3rd are guaranteed to enjoy the hands-on activities and props. The Scrubby Bear motto is: “Don’t be Sick, Wash up Quick!”
Objectives:
Teach students about germs and hand washing.
Have students become members of Scrubby Bear Clean hands club.
Teach responsible behavior to help reduce and prevent the spread of germs.
“Home Alone Safety”
This program is also an interactive fun video. The video is stopped at certain points to discuss what the students in the video are doing right and wrong while they are home alone. This class is meant to help teach students safe habits when they are home alone and also to create a list of activities that could safely occupy their time. Stranger danger, fire safety, cooking safety, and sound decision-making skills are among the important topics addressed in this educational and fun program. This program is for Grades 4th – 6th.
“Fire Safety”
This program is for 2nd – 4th grades and teaches the students fire safety measures. Script and activity based presentation.
