Healthy Eating

Start with something students can look at or think about: a photo, a short video, a jar on the windowsill, or a question like "what do you already know about staying healthy?" Then let them work through the first item together as a class, then finish the rest independently or with a partner, keeping a word bank or anchor chart in view so the vocabulary stays available. When you review, ask students how they knew, and let them point to the part of the diagram or reading that told them. These staying healthy worksheets work well as a lead in before an investigation, as a way to capture what students noticed afterward, or as review before an assessment.

These staying healthy worksheets for 1st grade give students a clear, visual way to work through one of the big ideas in our bodies. Students label diagrams, sort and classify examples, read short explanations, and answer questions that ask them to say why, not just what. Each page keeps the science vocabulary front and center so students leave with the words they need to talk about staying healthy accurately. Working through staying healthy on paper gives 1st grade students something concrete to hold onto before, during, or after the hands on part of a lesson.

Yes, both. We made it for 1st Grade our bodies, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with staying healthy. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

First graders learn that their daily habits have a direct impact on how their body feels and functions. They explore the importance of physical activity, enough sleep, clean hands, healthy food, and dental care. This topic helps students feel empowered to make healthy choices and understand why adults encourage those habits.

Staying healthy is typically introduced during a Grade 1 unit on the human body or as part of a health curriculum integrated with science. It is one of the topics most frequently revisited across K-5, as healthy habits are reinforced throughout the school year.

Use the worksheets as a springboard for talking about your family's own healthy habits, from bedtime routines to what goes in a school lunch. Ask your child to draw or write about one healthy habit they already have and one they want to build. Connecting the science content to daily routines makes it personally meaningful.

8 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade students, roughly ages 6-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
