Looking for Goods and Services Activities for First and Second Grade?

You’re in the right place! This resource allows students to organize their notes when learning about goods and services. This resource is best completed independently while listening to or immediately following your teaching presentation. 

Underneath each flap, students must write the definition of the term and provide an example. 

The terms to define include:

• Goods
• Services
• Consumer
• Producer

Once defined, have your students glue the worksheet inside of their Social Studies notebook as a quick reference when going through activities that support your lesson on goods and services. 

This resource could also be used in a center activity or small group review within your Social Studies unit. 

Vocabulary Foldable Scaffolding and Extension Tips 

Challenge fast finishers to use the vocabulary words in sentences.

To support struggling students, provide the definitions for students to match to the vocabulary word, instead of students scribing the definitions on their own.

Easily Prepare This Resource for Your Students

You can project the worksheet onto a screen and work through it as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks.
