Whether you want to spice up your daily life, motivate someone struggling with mental health, or encourage the kiddos to brush, here is our list of games to encourage kids to enjoy brushing their teeth:
-
The Two-Minute Challenge: Set a timer for two minutes and see how long the child can brush their teeth. This can make brushing more fun and help children understand the importance of brushing for the recommended amount of time.
-
The Treasure Hunt: Hide small toys or stickers around the bathroom for children to find while brushing. The child can search for the hidden items while brushing their teeth and make it a game.
-
The Brush-A-Long: Brush your teeth alongside the child and make it a fun, interactive experience. You can take turns brushing different parts of your mouths and make silly faces while brushing.
-
The Star Chart: Create a star chart for the child to track their brushing progress. Give them a star for every time they brush their teeth and let them see their progress over time.
-
The Brush-A-Monster: Encourage the child to pretend that their toothbrush is a monster that is eating away all the germs in their mouth. This can make brushing more fun and help children understand the importance of brushing their teeth.
By making brushing fun and engaging, you can establish good brushing habits that will last a lifetime.
Happy brushing from Team SimplyFloss!
