2. Encourage students to include facts about tooth care, images of tooth care items, and tips for preventing tooth decay on their posters.
3. Give students time to work on their posters and encourage them to collaborate and communicate effectively with their group members.
4. Have each group present their poster to the class and explain their message about tooth care.
5. Hold a vote to determine the winning poster and award prizes to the winning group.
Assessment: Evaluate the posters based on their content, creativity, and effectiveness in promoting good tooth care practices. Observe students' collaboration and communication skills during the activity. Ask students to explain why tooth care is important for preventing tooth decay.
