1st Grade Civics & Government — My Community — Rules, Leaders, and Helpers
Students will learn why rules are important and that God gave us rules to keep us safe and happy.
Rules are instructions that tell us what to do and what not to do. We have rules at home, at school, and in our town.
God gave us the very first rules. The Ten Commandments are rules from God that help us love Him and love other people.
Rules keep us safe. When we follow the rule to look both ways before crossing the street, we stay safe. When we take turns, everyone gets a chance.
Good rules are like a gift from God. They help our families, schools, and communities work well and keep everyone happy.
Make a list of 5 rules you follow at home or school. Draw a picture of yourself following one of the rules.
