• 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?
