How Laws are Helpful

Discover the reasons laws exist and the ways they help people! In this worksheet, students will read about seven different laws a community might have. They will need to decide whether each law is meant to keep people safe, help people be fair, or keep the community clean. 

This worksheet for second and third graders builds on students’ understanding of community rules and helps them recognize how laws can benefit a community in everyday life. Learners can see how the government is connected to real life through laws that relate to their own experiences.
