Elementary School Social Studies Resources
Help elementary students build essential social studies skills with Education.com’s comprehensive collection of elementary school social studies resources. Designed for kindergarten through fifth grade, this collection includes over 1,900 printable worksheets, lesson plans, and hands-on activities that support learning in civics, history, geography, economics, and culture.
In civics and government, students learn about national symbols, key historical documents, and the three branches of government. Activities range from coloring pages and crafts for younger learners to reading passages, graphic organizers, and comprehension quizzes for upper grades. Topics include the Constitution, U.S. presidents, civic responsibility, and election vocabulary—building a strong foundation in civic awareness. Community and culture lessons introduce neighborhood roles, global traditions, and cultural celebrations. Learners explore holidays like Diwali and Ramadan, create retablos and shadow puppets, and reflect on the importance of community service—supporting both cultural understanding and creative expression. Economics resources help students understand needs and wants, goods and services, and how resources flow through communities. Early learners begin with basic sorting activities, while upper elementary students explore supply and demand, scarcity, and the role of consumers and producers through real-world scenarios. Geography materials develop spatial awareness and map-reading skills. Students use legends, identify U.S. regions and capitals, explore the eight U.S. regions, and calculate time zone differences—building geographic literacy from the ground up. History lessons include biographies, timelines, and primary source analysis. Learners study key figures like Frederick Douglass and major events such as the civil rights movement. Activities support chronological thinking, source evaluation, and understanding multiple perspectives.
All social studies resources are available in digital and print-friendly formats to support classroom use, homeschooling, or enrichment. Use Education.com’s filters to find social studies worksheets and activities by grade level, topic, or learning objective.
