**Lesson Outline:**
**1. Introduction (5 minutes):**
- Greet the students warmly.
- Introduce the topic by talking about how important it is to take care of every part of our body, including our feet.
- Show a picture of feet and ask the children to point to their own feet.
**2. Story Time (10 minutes):**
- Read a short and engaging storybook about a character who learns to take care of their feet.
- Ask questions throughout the story to keep the children engaged (e.g., "What do you think will happen next?", "Why should we keep our feet clean?").
**3. Guided Discussion (10 minutes):**
- Use visual aids and real-life items to explain the importance of foot care.
- Show and discuss each item:
- **Soap and Water:** "We use soap and water to wash our feet and keep them clean."
- **Towels:** "We dry our feet with a towel so they are not wet."
- **Socks and Shoes:** "Wearing socks and shoes protect our feet from getting hurt."
- **Nail Clippers:** "We use nail clippers to keep our toenails short and clean."
- Engage with the students by asking simple questions, e.g., "What do we use to wash our feet?" and encouraging them to respond.
**4. Interactive Activity (10 minutes):**
- Demonstrate the proper way to wash feet using a basin of water, soap, and a towel. Let them simulate the washing action with their hands.
- Have a foot-care song or rhyme for children to sing along. An example could be:
```
"Wash, wash, wash your feet,
Keep them clean and neat,
Dry them off, wear your socks,
Clean feet can't be beat!"
```
**5. Hands-On Practice (10 minutes):**
- Provide small towels and pretend soap for the children to practice “washing” their feet.
- Let them role-play putting on socks and shoes.
- Show them (using safe, child-friendly nail clippers or a toy) how nails should be clipped by an adult.
**6. Recap and Conclusion (5 minutes):**
- Summarize the key points of the lesson:
- Wash your feet with soap and water.
- Dry your feet well.
- Wear clean socks and shoes.
- Let a grown-up help trim your toenails.
- Ask the students to share one thing they learned about foot care.
**7. Closure (5 minutes):**
- Sing the foot-care song once more.
- Give praise and stickers or stamps to children who participated actively.
- Remind the children to practice what they've learned at home.
**Assessment:**
- Observe student participation and their ability to follow foot-care routines during the hands-on practice.
- Ask individual questions to confirm understanding.
**Follow-Up:**
- Send a simple illustrated foot-care guide home with each student for their parents.
- Plan a follow-up activity the next week to review and reinforce foot care practices.
