When you're traveling and fall sick, pointing at what hurts only gets you so far — you need to write and say words like 身体 (shēn tǐ) and 病 (bìng) with confidence. This free printable worksheet gives you 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grids for the HSK 1 Body, Health & Rest vocabulary set, so you can build muscle memory for the characters you'd use at a doctor's visit.
The page covers ten words from the HSK 3.0 vocabulary list, all centered on talking about the body, feeling sick, and resting up. You'll trace and write 身体 (shēn tǐ, body), 手 (shǒu, hand), 生病 (shēng bìng, to get sick), 看病 (kàn bìng, to see a doctor), 休息 (xiū xi, to rest), and 睡觉 (shuì jiào, to sleep), among others. Pinyin sits above each word in every grid, keeping the link between sound and stroke clear.
Start by tracing the guided strokes in the lightly printed grids, following each stroke's direction and order. Then move to the blank 田字格 cells and write each character from memory. Saying each word aloud as you write helps lock in the sound. Print the page directly or download it as a PDF — no signup needed. For extra practice space, grab the blank printable 田字格 writing grid paper.
This worksheet pairs with SayMei's HSK 1 lessons hub page, and the words match the course weeks exactly.
