Health and Physical Education worksheets on ChalkBee
Personal, Social and Community Health printables: food groups and healthy eating, a label-the-diagram body systems sheet (brain, heart, lungs, stomach) plus the body systems quiz, the five senses, hygiene, dental health, exercise and sleep, road, water, personal, sun (Australia's Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide) and fire safety, 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. For Movement and Physical Activity, only the worksheet-shaped slice is covered: sports and game vocabulary (teammate, opponent, pass, sportsmanship) and a game-rules and fair-play quiz. Fundamental movement skills and any physical performance or skill assessment are inherently practical (played, not printed) and honestly stay out of scope, not turned into printables.
Curriculum content (Foundation – Year 6)
What Health and Physical Education covers, by year band and strand.
Health and Physical Education content descriptions (Years 1-6)
Every ACARA v9 HPE code, Years 1-6, across Personal, Social and Community Health and Movement and Physical Activity (banded as Years 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6). Health maps well to printables; Movement is played, not printed, so only its vocabulary and game-rules slice is covered and the rest is honestly marked practical. A few sensitive personal-health topics (puberty, consent) are teacher-led discussions, not worksheets.
