About this worksheet

Two plain definitions start this 3rd grade economics page. Goods are things made or grown that you can touch, and services are actions people do to help others. Students then label six pictures, including pizza, car repair, a dentist visit, and delivering mail, as a good or a service. A final question asks about their favorite good and a service their family uses. The answer page on the last of the 3 pages lists Good, Service, Good, Service, Good, Service and a sample reply about a candy bar and dog grooming.

What's inside this worksheet

What Are Goods and Services

Goods examples are toys, clothes, and apples. Service examples are a haircut, a car wash, and a doctor's checkup.

Sort It Out

Six pictures, numbered 1 to 6, show pizza, car repair, books, a dentist visit, a bicycle, and delivering mail. Students write Good or Service in the box under each one.

Think About It

Students name their favorite good to buy at the store and a service their family uses.

How teachers use it

Touch test

Teach the sheet's rule first: you can touch a good but not a service. Car repair and the dentist visit confuse students who see a wrench or a chair in the picture.

Quick check

Six pictures take about five minutes. Students who get all six right can list three more goods and three more services they can see in the classroom.

Home connection

The last question works as a family chat. Students ask at home about one service the family paid for this week and share it the next day.
