Grade 2 Social Studies · World 7: Rules and Leaders · Level 43
Why We Have Rules
Rules keep us safe and fair at home and school.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 43
- A rule tells us what we should or should not do. Homes have rules, schools have rules, and games have rules!
- Many rules keep us safe. We walk in the hallway, so nobody gets hurt. We buckle our seatbelts in the car.
- Many rules make things fair. We take turns on the swings, and raise our hands to talk, so everyone gets a chance.
- At home, parents and grown-ups make the rules. At school, teachers and the principal do.
- Breaking a rule has a consequence: what happens because of a choice. If you run in the hall, you might fall, or lose some recess.
- Your turn! Sort them: following the rules, or breaking them?
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies:
