Winning art by children from around the world!

My Bright Smile CalendarTM

Bright Smiles Idea Starters • Brush Twice a Day! Photocopy the Travel the

Globe with Dr. Rabbit Brushing Chart, one for each child.

• Find That Country! Each month, find the winning artist’s country on the Travel the Globe with Dr. Rabbit Brushing Chart; use it as a springboard for a cultural lesson.

• Language Lingo: Look for the “Word of the Month” in each Bright Smile Tip, shown in a language from the country of that month’s winning artist.

• Celebrate Each Checkup! Have students “initial” the calendar each time they have a dental checkup. How many children had checkups each month?

A Global Palette For the past 20 years, the My Bright Smile Global Art Contest has invited children from classrooms all over the world to create artwork that shows what their own bright smiles mean to them. Winners receive scholarships for themselves and for their schools.
