Assessment Activity: Personal Hygiene Treasure Hunt

Grade Level: Foundation Phase (Grades R-3)
Subject: Life Skills
Lesson Theme: Personal Hygiene
Lesson Objectives:

  1. Learners will identify key personal hygiene practices (e.g., handwashing, brushing teeth, bathing).
  2. Learners will demonstrate understanding of proper techniques for personal hygiene.
  3. Learners will apply the importance of personal hygiene in daily routines.

Assessment Activity Overview

Activity Title: Personal Hygiene Treasure Hunt

Duration: 30-40 minutes

Materials Needed:

  • Picture cards representing different personal hygiene practices (e.g., soap, toothbrush, towel, shampoo)
  • Treasure (small treats or stickers as rewards)
  • A checklist for each group (including pictures and names of hygiene practices)
  • Markers or crayons
  • A large poster board for reflection

Activity Procedure

  1. Introduction (10 minutes)

    • Briefly review the lesson objectives and discuss the importance of personal hygiene.
    • Explain the treasure hunt rules and how they will be divided into groups.

  2. Group Division (5 minutes)

    • Divide the learners into small groups (3-4 students each) to encourage collaboration.

  3. Treasure Hunt (15 minutes)

    • Hide the picture cards around the classroom or outside (if feasible).
    • Provide each group with a checklist of hygiene practices to find.
    • As groups find a picture, they must discuss what the item is and how it relates to personal hygiene.

  4. Reflection and Presentation (10 minutes)

    • Once all groups have completed the treasure hunt, ask each group to present the pictures they found.
    • Encourage groups to describe each hygiene practice, its importance, and when they should use it.

  5. Class Discussion (10 minutes)

    • Conclude with a class discussion about the different practices found during the treasure hunt.
    • Use a large poster board to compile the hygiene practices discussed, allowing learners to draw or write their reflections.

Assessment Alignment with Bloom’s Taxonomy

This assessment activity incorporates various levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy as follows:

  1. Remembering: Learners recall different personal hygiene practices (e.g., handwashing, brushing teeth).
  2. Understanding: Learners discuss the importance of each hygiene practice and demonstrate knowledge by matching pictures to their descriptions.
  3. Applying: By gathering items during the hunt, learners apply their knowledge in a practical, hands-on activity.
  4. Analyzing: In group discussions, learners analyze the significance of each hygiene practice and when it’s applicable.
  5. Evaluating: During reflections, learners evaluate their understanding of hygiene practices, discussing which ones are most important to their daily routines.
  6. Creating: Learners could create a personal hygiene poster as an extension activity to showcase what they’ve learned.

Assessment Criteria

  • Participation: Active involvement in discussions and the treasure hunt.
  • Identification: Ability to identify and describe at least three hygiene practices.
  • Collaboration: Effectiveness in working with peers during the activity.
  • Reflection: Contribution to the class reflection, demonstrating understanding of personal hygiene importance.

This assessment activity not only evaluates learners’ understanding but also promotes engagement, collaboration, and communication skills, reinforcing the personal hygiene theme in a fun and interactive way.
