A 3-page 1st grade social studies worksheet on ways to help. Page 1 has three rows of four pictures, At Home, At School and In the Community. In each row students circle the three that show helping, such as feeding a pet, welcoming a new student or planting a tree. Page 2 is a helping plan with a drawing box and the sentence starters I will help by, First and Then. Page 3 lists the pictures to circle and a sample plan.
D2.Civ.2.K-2
“Explain how all people, not just official leaders, play important roles in a community.”
The community row shows planting a tree, donating clothes and picking up trash at a park, and page 2 asks each student to plan their own way to help.
D2.Civ.7.K-2
“Apply civic virtues when participating in school settings.”
The school row covers sharing supplies, cleaning up and welcoming a new student.
Twelve captioned pictures in three rows. Each row has one picture that does not help: throwing toys, pushing in line and dropping trash.
A box to draw how they will help at home, at school or in the community, then three lines to complete: I will help by, First and Then.
The three pictures to circle in each row and a sample plan about picking up trash at the park.
Row by row
Work through one row at a time on the board. Ask students to say why the odd one out does not help before they circle the other three.
