Health and Physical Education worksheets on ChalkBee
Personal, Social and Community Health printables: food groups and healthy eating, the body systems, the five senses, hygiene, dental health, exercise and sleep, road, water, personal and sun safety (Australia's Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide), naming feelings, manners, kindness, friendship and growth mindset. Factual sheets use fixed matching and fill-in answer keys; reflective wellbeing sheets use open writing prompts. Movement and Physical Activity is practical, so it stays classroom-based.
