Children tend to retain and share knowledge better through interactive activities. The models they create are often taken home, reinforcing learning and spreading awareness within households.
Children are provided with a printed sheet of the model. Using scissors and adhesive, they cut along the dotted lines and assemble their own toilet model. This interactive activity helps them understand sanitation concepts in a practical way and encourages them to share their learning with their families.

Material
Use

Promotes playful learning of hygiene and sanitation practices through an interactive group activity.
How It Works
Impact
Children enjoy the activity as it differs from a typical classroom session. The interactive nature increases participation, attention, and retention of hygiene practices.
The banner is spread on the ground and children participate as players. Using a dice, they move across the board themselves instead of using tokens. Each time they land on a square, they read the message aloud, allowing others to listen and engage. This interactive format helps reinforce key messages on hygiene and sanitation in a fun and memorable way.
