In first grade, social studies widens from the family out to the community and the country. These 1st grade social studies worksheets follow the C3 Framework across three topics: communities, American symbols, and maps and globes.

Students compare how different communities are structured and what they do for the people in them, identify the contributions of historical figures, explain the meaning behind American symbols, icons, and traditions, and construct and interpret simple maps and models of familiar places. Each topic keeps the reading load light and the tasks concrete, so first graders can work through a page with minimal support.

These printables suit whole-class lessons around civic holidays, geography centers, and early-finisher folders. All of them are free to download and print with no payment involved. Teachers who want a local angle, whether that is your town's map or your state's symbols, can sign up to Chalkie free, edit the worksheet, and regenerate it around their own community before running copies.
