Teaching citizenship in K-2

A citizen is a person who belongs to a community, and a good citizen helps, shares, follows the rules and takes care of the places we share. Read the free A Good Citizen book together: Thad the beaver helps a neighbor, shares his crayons, waits his turn, picks up trash and says thank you to the crossing guard.

Then sort the picture cards into good choices and not good choices, and ask children to draw a rule from your own classroom. The Pledge of Allegiance printable gives the words in big print, and the American flag page has all 50 stars and 13 stripes in their real places, drawn from the flag's official measurements.
