About these goods and services worksheets

Goods are things people make or grow, like bread, apples, shoes and toys. You can touch a good. Services are work people do for you, like cutting hair, checking teeth, delivering mail or driving a bus. These goods and services worksheets help kindergartners tell the two apart and see where the things they use every day come from.

Start with the goods and services chart, then sort pictures with a pencil or with scissors and glue; both pages use the same ten pictures. Where Does It Come From? links goods to the farm animals and plants they come from, and the farmers market story shows people buying goods and getting a service.

Children also visit the store: they read price tags, circle the thing that costs more and color one dollar for each dollar a thing costs. Prices are whole dollars from $1 to $10, so the numbers stay within kindergarten math. A Services for Everyone chart shows the services a town gives to all, like libraries, parks and fire departments. Pages with one right answer have an answer key on page 2.

How to use them

  1. Read the goods and services chart together. Ask, "Can you touch it?" A good is a thing; a service is work someone does for you.
  2. Use the pencil sort first, then the cut and paste sort as a center or for review.
  3. Before the Where Does It Come From? page, talk about the farm: milk comes from cows, eggs from hens and honey from bees.
  4. Read the farmers market story aloud, then ask children what they could buy at a market near them.
  5. Set up a pretend store with play money and price tags from $1 to $10 after the price pages.
  6. Look at the Services for Everyone chart and color the services your class has used, like the library or a park.

Teaching tips

  • A worker can make goods or give a service. A baker makes bread, which is a good. A hair stylist gives haircuts, which is a service.
  • Use real objects: hold up a book (a good) and then pretend to read it to the class (a service).
  • On the price pages, have children point to each dollar as they count and color it.
  • Explain taxes simply: grown-ups pay a little money to the town, and the town uses it to pay for things everyone shares.
  • For a challenge, ask children to name the worker who makes or grows each good on the matching page.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What are goods and services for kindergarten?

Goods are things people make or grow that you can touch, like bread, apples, shoes and toys. Services are work people do for you, like a haircut, a checkup at the doctor, mail delivery or a bus ride.

Is there a goods and services cut and paste worksheet?

Yes. The cut and paste sort and the pencil sort use the same ten pictures, so children can do the same sort with or without scissors.

Are the money pages right for kindergarten?

Yes. Prices are whole dollars from $1 to $10, so children compare and count numbers they already know. They do not need to know coins.

Do these worksheets have answer keys?

Yes. The sorts, the cut and paste page, the matching page, the story questions and both price pages each have an answer key on page 2. The charts and the drawing page do not need one.
