About this worksheet

Home, school, or playground: kindergartners decide where each of 12 numbered rules belongs. The picture word bank covers rules such as "Brush your teeth," "Walk in the hallway," "Share the swings," and "Wear a helmet," and students write the number or words in the correct box. A Think About It section asks which rule was trickiest and invites one new rule for each place. The answer key calls out Clean up toys and Listen to adults as open cases. Across 4 pages the sheet works on C3 Framework D2.Civ.3.K-2.

What's inside this worksheet

Word Bank

Twelve numbered rules with pictures, including 3. Go down the slide, 8. Sit on the rug, 10. Listen to adults, and 12. Use a quiet voice.

Sorting boxes

Three boxes headed Home, School, and Playground. Students write a rule number or its words in each box.

Think About It

Part A asks which rule was trickiest to place and why. Part B has lines for one new rule at home, at school, and on the playground.

Answer key

The most common sort, four rules per place, with a note to accept any placement of items 6 and 10 that a student can explain.

How teachers use it

Numbers not words

Tell students to write only the rule number. It keeps the sort moving and saves the writing for Part B.

Expect a debate

Rule 10, Listen to adults, fits all three places. Let the class argue it out, since that is exactly what Part A asks them to explain.

Playground duty

Take the playground box outside at recess. Students check whether Share the swings and Go down the slide really happen the way the sheet says.
