About kindergarten social studies

Kindergarten social studies starts close to home and moves outward. Children learn about themselves and their families, then about rules and the people who help at school and in the community. They learn the difference between needs and wants, make their first maps, compare life long ago with life today, and meet the symbols and holidays of the United States.

These kindergarten social studies worksheets follow that path in six groups. Each topic has a picture poster or chart, hands-on pages like family tree templates, class graphs, maps to draw and a class vote, and sorting pages that come as a no-cut version and a cut and paste version. Short read-alouds with picture questions bring in a little history and civics without asking children to read.

Every page is black and white line art a pre-reader can use, with words for a grown-up to read aloud. Sheets print on US Letter or A4, and pages with right answers include an answer key on page 2.

Questions

What do kindergartners learn in social studies?

Kindergarten social studies covers the self and family, rules and being a good citizen, community helpers, needs and wants, simple maps, life long ago and today, and American symbols and holidays.

How can I teach social studies to kindergartners at home?

Start with your child's own world. Make a family tree, draw a map of their room, talk about the helpers you see in town, and compare old family photos with life today. Then use a worksheet to talk about it.

Do kindergarten social studies worksheets need reading?

No. Each page uses pictures and short words, with a line for a grown-up to read aloud. Children answer by circling, drawing, sorting, cutting and gluing, or writing a few words.

Are there answer keys?

Yes. Any page with right answers, such as sorting, matching, sequencing and read-aloud question pages, has an answer key on page 2. Pages about a child's own life, like a family tree, have no key.
