This 3-page 1st grade social studies worksheet teaches six words for good citizens: honest, kind, fair, respectful, sharing and helpful. Page 1 shows six pictures with a box under each for the matching word. Page 2 gives six sentences that begin When I and need a word from the same bank. Page 3 is the answer key. It ties to Common Core L.1.5c by linking each word to something a child does.
L.1.5c
“Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., note places at home that are cozy).”
Each picture on page 1 and each sentence on page 2 links a word such as honest or fair to something a child does.
A word bank sits above six pictures. A child hands something back to an adult, one child sits beside a sad friend, a child on a swing has another child waiting, a child sits on a rug with a teacher, two children share crayons at a table, and a child carries a bag with a grandparent. Students write a word in the box under each.
Six sentences such as When I tell the truth, I am and When I take turns in a game, I am. Each is finished with a word from the same six-word bank.
The six picture words and the six sentence words in two numbered lists.
Act it out
Before students write, have pairs act out two of the pictures and let the class guess the word. Sharing and fair are easy to act. Honest takes a little more thought.
Kind or helpful
Kind and helpful sit close together for some pictures. Tell students each bank word fits one picture, and talk through picture 6 as a class before they write.
Sentence swap
After page 2, have students write one more When I sentence of their own with a bank word. Partners swap and guess the word.
