Dental Health Memory Game
The dental health memory game is an activity that is used to review for the test. Cut the teeth apart and mix them up in a bag. Have your students get into pairs and complete the memory game by matching the correct answer to the question.

Tooth Care mini-book
Have your students’ color the pages of the mini book template and them cut them out. Make a mini book from the pages and then staple them together.

Teeth-Cleaning Chart
Have the students take the teeth cleaning chart home and keep a record of how many times they brush and floss their teeth. At the end of the week have the students bring back the chart so that you can talk about their chart and compare it to the other students.
