About this worksheet

A citizen is a member of a community, and even a five-year-old can make the places and people around them better. In kindergarten that means concrete choices: putting litter in the bin, sharing crayons, saying hello to a new child, watering the class plant, returning a library book, and voting by raising a hand when the class picks a story. This worksheet needs no reading.

A grown-up reads each short question, and the child circles one picture. Support pages use three pictures. Standard pages use wrong pictures from the same situation. Challenge pages use four pictures and ask how other people feel when a child is kind or unkind, which is how a young child first sees that actions affect others. Praise the reason, not just the picture.

What your child will learn

Choose an action that helps a class, a park, or a friend
Take part in a fair group choice by raising a hand
Care for shared things such as plants, books, and playgrounds
See how kind and unkind actions make other children feel

C3 Framework standard: D2.Civ.2.K-2

Worked example

Say: litter is on the playground grass, where should it go? The child circles the bin. Then ask: who is that good for? Everyone who plays there.

Common mistake

Thinking a good citizen is simply a quiet child. Citizens also help, share, and take part, and they notice how others feel.

Helpful hint

Choose the picture that helps other people or a place we share.
