Being a Good Citizen Worksheet

Helping children understand what it means to be a good member of their school and neighborhood is at the heart of social studies, and this being a good citizen worksheet gives second graders friendly practice with the everyday choices good citizens make. Students explore how following rules, telling the truth, respecting others, and helping the community all work together.

This printable good citizenship worksheet is easy to use at school or at home. In Part A, children read six everyday actions and circle YES if the action shows a good citizen or NO if it does not. In Part B, they use a word bank of character words to complete five sentences. A complete answer key makes checking simple, so the page works well for morning work, a social studies center, homework, or a class discussion starter.

What’s Included

• 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
• Answer key
• 6 good-citizen yes/no questions and a 5-word word bank activity

This being a good citizen worksheet supports learners in three ways. First, it turns a big idea into clear, concrete examples children can recognize from their own day. Second, it builds important character vocabulary like honest, fair, respect, responsible, and helpful. Third, it sparks meaningful conversations about kindness, honesty, and community that carry beyond the page.

For more practice, invite your child to name a good deed they could do at home, at school, and in the neighborhood. Read a picture book about helping others and talk about the choices the characters make. You can also start a weekly good citizen chart and celebrate the kind, responsible things your child does each day.
