About this worksheet
Community leaders help groups make decisions, solve problems, and carry out responsibilities. Second graders may recognize a title such as mayor or principal but choose the most familiar adult for every problem. The civic skill is matching authority and responsibility to the place affected by the decision. This worksheet uses concrete examples from schools, libraries, parks, fire departments, local councils, and crosswalks. Students identify a leader's role, connect the role with a duty, choose who could help with a decision, and use scenario evidence to justify the match. Support versions focus on familiar school and town leaders. Challenge versions include district and public-safety roles. Encourage your child to ask which community is affected and which leader has responsibility for that community.
