Here’s a fantastic freebie to help kids learn about everything from what to expect at a hospital visit to types of cells in the body to how to measure your pulse!
Health and Hospitals Explained: A Kid’s Activity Book – Fun Worksheets on Doctors, Hospitals, and How Our Bodies Work is an 80-page PDF printable you can download for free from Social Workers Toolbox.
The activity book features sections such as:
- Why children may visit the hospital – from X-rays and emergencies to physical therapy or visiting a sibling
- Different hospital staff and their roles – doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers, and more
- How the body works – simple explanations of body systems, cells, and organs
- Wellbeing tips – coping strategies for stress, healthy eating, exercise, and good hygiene
- Safety and self-advocacy – learning how to talk to doctors, ask questions, and play a role in their own care
The workbook also includes fun extras like jokes, drawing prompts, scavenger hunts, word searches, timelines of medicine, and guided activities that build knowledge while reducing anxiety about healthcare.
You don’t need to fill out anything or sign up with an email to access the download.

Since sites sometimes disappear, remove materials, or move them, I’ve also saved the download on the internet archive here in case it ever gives an error message.
