Kindergarten Social Studies Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle the picture.
Before electricity, what did people use to light a room?
Today, what do we turn on to light a room?
What did people write with long ago?
What do we write with today?
Which one did people use to call a friend long ago?
What do we carry to call someone today?
What did a family ride to town long ago?
What do many families drive to town today?
History starts with a simple idea: life was different long ago, and things changed over time. A kindergarten child can see that when they compare an old tool with the one we use today. This worksheet pairs a candle with an electric lamp, a feather with a pen, an old phone with a phone we carry, and a horse cart with a car, a bus and an airplane. A grown-up reads each short question, and the child circles the picture that answers it.
No reading is needed. Support pages use three pictures. Standard pages use wrong pictures that belong to the other time. Challenge pages use four pictures and ask which picture is from long ago or from today. Talk about why people changed their tools: to go faster, to talk farther, or to see in the dark.
