**Activity 1: Discussion and Picture Cards (10 minutes)**
1. **Discussion:** Start by asking the children if they know what sickness is. Explain that sickness happens when we don't feel well, like having a cold or a tummy ache.
2. **Picture Cards:** Show picture cards of both healthy habits (like washing hands, eating fruits) and common sicknesses (like a child sneezing, a child with a bandage).
- Ask questions like: “What is this child doing?” or “How do we feel when we have a cold?”
- Encourage responses and validate their answers.
**Activity 2: Practicing Healthy Habits (5 minutes)**
1. **Hand Washing Demonstration:** Use hand sanitizer or soap to show the proper way to wash hands.
2. **Role-Playing:** Use the toy medical kit to play a game where students pretend to visit a doctor. Explain how doctors help us when we are sick.
**Activity 3: Crafting Healthy Habits (5 minutes)**
1. **Craft Activity:** Give each student a piece of colored paper, crayons, and stickers.
- Ask them to draw one healthy habit they learned today.

**Conclusion: (5 minutes)**
1. **Review:** Quickly recap the healthy habits and common sicknesses discussed.
- Ask questions like “What should we do to stay healthy?”
2. **Goodbye Song:** End the lesson with a song about body care, reinforcing the day's learning through music.
