Class 1 EVS Food, Water and Cleanliness Worksheet
Class 1 EVS · Food, water and keeping clean · 60 questions with answers
The revision sheet for the topics a Class 1 syllabus usually closes the year on, and the one where a worksheet can quietly teach the wrong thing. Sorting food into good and bad is how most sheets handle this; that framing is unhelpful for a six-year-old, so the exercises here sort by everyday and sometimes instead, which is both more accurate and easier to live with at home.
- Sort familiar foods into everyday foods and sometimes foods.
- Name where the water we use comes from, and two ways to save it.
- Name the everyday habits that keep us healthy, and say why each one helps.

Answer in one line.
Write the answer · Think about it
- 1)Why should we wash our hands before eating?
- 2)Why should we not waste water?
- 3)Write one everyday food you ate today.
- 4)Why should we not eat too many sometimes foods?

- 7)Why do we need to eat vegetables and fruit?
- 8)Why should we boil or filter drinking water?
Answers
- 1) So that germs on our hands do not go into our food and make us ill.
- 2) Because there is only a limited amount of clean water, and others need it too.
- 3) Answers will differ for every child.
- 4) Because they do not help us grow, and eating them daily can make us unwell.
- 5) To keep flies, dust and germs off it.
- 6) Answers will differ - closing the tap while brushing, mending a dripping tap, and using a bucket instead of a shower are all correct.
- 7) They keep us healthy and protect us from falling ill.
- 8) To kill the germs in it, so it does not make us ill.
While your child works
- The everyday/sometimes framing is deliberate. Calling food good and bad tends to produce either guilt or secrecy at this age, and neither helps - sometimes foods are allowed, just not daily.
- Exercise 2 is the one most likely to need explaining first. Say the three jobs aloud - grow, energy, protect - and give one example of each before your child starts.
- The final question has no fixed answer. It is there to connect the sheet to what the child actually ate, which is the whole point of EVS at this stage.
