World Health Day word search puzzle worksheet activity

The search brings together words from personal wellness, health-support roles, clinical settings, prevention, and illness. Learners locate entries related to hygiene, nutrition, exercise, safety, stress, care, and disease without being asked to diagnose or treat any condition. Page two is the completed puzzle reference. The activity is therefore positioned as vocabulary exploration only, with no claims about medical advice, effectiveness, or health outcomes.
