Titled "Earning Income: Goods and Services," this 2nd grade sheet opens with four workers: a baker, a dentist, a toy maker, and a bus driver. Students draw lines to the good each one makes or the service each provides. A vocabulary match follows for goods, services, income, and producer, with the first answer done. The last prompt asks students to explain how one worker earns income. It fits C3 Framework indicator D2.Eco.6.K-2 and runs four pages with an answer key.
D2.Eco.6.K-2
“Explain how people earn income.”
Think About It and the income definition, where students explain that a baker or toy maker earns money by selling goods and a dentist by providing a service.
D2.Eco.4.K-2
“Describe the goods and services that people in the local community produce and those that are produced in other communities.”
The Worker Match, where bread and a toy train are goods and bus driving and dental checkups are services produced in a community.
Each worker carries a hint, such as Baker (Makes a Good) or Dentist (Provides a Service). Students join them to a toy train, a school bus, a loaf of bread, or a patient in the dentist's chair.
Students write a letter to match four words to definitions. Goods goes with C, things you can touch, hold, and buy, as the worked example.
Students choose their favorite worker from the first match and explain how that person earns income.
Five-minute review
Run the Word Meanings set alone as a quick review. Producer and services are the pair students mix up, so ask whether a dentist makes something or does something.
Center activity
Print the worker names and pictures on card stock for a matching center. Students match first, then check with the answer key taped to the back.
Career day
Use Think About It before a parent visit. Students who have written about how a baker earns income ask sharper questions of a real worker.
