 Illness and Disease
Doctor Role Play Activity
Looking for a fun and engaging way for
students to apply their knowledge of illness and
disease? Use the doctor role play activity!

The role play activity requires the students to be

the doctors. The teacher shows an illustration of
a “patient” and reads off their health
complaint. The students then diagnose the illness by holding up the
appropriate tongue depressor. When students are ready, they hold up a
band aid with an appropriate treatment. There are six “patients” with
scenarios included in this package that you can use with this activity.

Consider printing off the doctor badges on full page label paper to
make them easy for students to put on. Students can print their name on
the badges and wear them. Provide each student with a set of tongue
depressors and bandaids. This activity is provided in both colour and in
black and white.

The Illness and Disease Doctor Role Play Activity is a part of the Illness
and Disease Digital Teaching Box. If you are looking for more materials to
support your students as they learn about illness and disease, be sure to
check out the digital teaching box.

This activity supports Saskatchewan Health Curriculum Outcome USC2.3

and focuses on helping students, “develop an understanding of how
health may be affected by illness and disease.”
