5-Day No-Prep Sub Plan — Health

Five full days of substitute-ready health in one no-prep download. Your substitute almost certainly cannot teach health content, and nothing here asks them to: each day is an original nonfiction reading with every answer on the handout, then a page that checks its own answers, and a run sheet says what to hand out. WHAT THIS COVERS: nutrition and food choices; physical activity, sleep and recovery; stress, coping and asking for help; disease, the immune system and vaccines; and decision-making, refusal skills and evaluating health claims online. WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT COVER: sexual health, reproduction or relationships; alcohol, tobacco, vaping or any other drug; body image, weight, dieting or calorie targets; and anything crisis-related. Districts draw their own lines on those topics, so they are left out on purpose. The days run in sequence: a week of coursework, not a folder of activities.

  • Sub & Teacher Notes cover sheet — what to hand out each day

  • 5 self-checking worksheet sets (one per day, 70 questions total) + 5 answer keys

  • 17-page PDF: print pages 1-11 for the student set; answer keys at the back

  • Each day is standalone — no prior lesson needed; run the days in any order

  • Health, grades 6-12; tagged Emergency Sub Plans + First Week of School
