To extend the children's learning to their families, we incorporated the Public Hygiene Council (PHC) mascots and public hygiene messages into our event materials, including the posters and activity task cards. This provided continuity from the children's earlier learning experiences and allowed them to recognise the familiar mascots and the positive habits they represent.
As part of our collaboration with PHC, three interactive tabletop games provided by PHC were incorporated into the event and facilitated by our teachers. Each station focused on an important public hygiene practice:
Leave a Clean Table for the Next Diner Participants stood behind a designated line and tossed rings, aiming to land them onto the empty plates on the trays. Through this activity, families learnt about the importance of clearing their tables and leaving a clean dining space for the next person.
Bin Your Trash Properly At this station, participants aimed and tossed balls into the bins on the game set-up. The challenge represented the everyday act of disposing of rubbish properly and reinforced the message that everyone has a responsibility to keep our shared spaces litter-free.
Keeping Public Toilets Clean Parents and children took on a challenge where they had to identify and knock down the correct practices for keeping public toilets clean. Through the game, families were reminded of simple but important habits that everyone can practise when using the public toilets.
Through these hands-on games, important public hygiene messages were transformed into fun and meaningful parent-child experiences. Rather than simply telling families about good hygiene practices, the activities gave parents and children opportunities to learn, play and practise these messages together.
By involving families in the event, the children's SSDB learning was extended beyond the classroom and into the wider community. Together with PHC, we hope to encourage both children and adults to recognise that small, considerate actions from every individual can collectively contribute towards a cleaner and more pleasant Singapore for everyone.
