Good Choice or Rule Breaker

About this worksheet

Four cartoon pictures open this kindergarten sheet on rules and good choices. Students draw a happy face next to a good choice and a sad face next to a broken rule: two children sharing a block, a child running in the hallway, a child putting toys away, and a child yelling. A short second section defines a responsibility as a helpful job you are supposed to do and asks for a drawing of one done at home. It suits C3 Framework D2.Civ.3.K-2. The last of the 4 pages gives the expected face for each picture and a note on acceptable chores.

What's inside this worksheet

Good Choice or Rule Breaker

Four pictures in a table, each with a space beside it. Students draw a smiling face for a good choice and a frowning face for breaking a rule.

My Responsibilities

A one-line definition of responsibility, then a box where students draw themselves doing one job at home, next to a picture of a child sweeping.

Answers

The expected faces in order (happy, sad, happy, sad) and a teacher note to accept any chore drawing, such as feeding a pet or making a bed.

How teachers use it

Role-play first

Act out the running and the yelling pictures with a volunteer before students draw faces. Kindergartners judge a scene faster once they have watched it.

Morning meeting

At circle time, hold up the four pictures one by one. Ask which rule each rule breaker should follow instead.

Chore share

The My Responsibilities drawings make a quick class display. Group them by chore so students see how many classmates also feed a pet or make a bed.
