Rural, Suburban, or Urban? Cut and Paste

Sort characteristics of communities in this cut-and-paste worksheet! To start, learners will read brief descriptions of rural, suburban, and urban communities. Then, students are asked to cut out each description at the bottom of the page and sort it into the correct community column.

Tailored for second and third graders, this hands-on worksheet will help reinforce the characteristics of rural, suburban, and urban communities. As they consider the differences between each type of community, students may also begin to think about their similarities. This activity will help build community awareness and prompt students to notice details about the community they live in.
