About this resource
Description
People work to earn money, and they spend that money on two kinds of things: goods and services. This Good and Services Worksheet helps 3rd grade students tell the difference. A good is an object you can buy and hold in your hands, like crayons, apples or a winter coat. A service is useful work that another person does for you, like a dentist cleaning your teeth or a bus driver taking the class on a trip.
In Part A, students read eight short sentences about everyday buying and selling in their community and fill in the G bubble for a good or the S bubble for a service. In Part B, they read about Carter, who washes cars to earn money for a new soccer ball, and write a short answer that names each thing as a good or a service and explains why. Use it as a quick check after a lesson, a center activity or a homework page.
What’s Included
- One printable 3rd grade goods and services page with a Part A bubble activity and a Part B written response
- Eight real-life sentences to sort as a good or a service
- A short story prompt that connects earning money to buying goods and services
- A complete answer key
3 Reasons This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, clear definitions at the top give students a simple test they can apply to any purchase. Second, every sentence comes from daily life, so children connect economics to the store, the doctor and the school bus. Third, the written response asks students to explain their thinking, which builds the reasoning skills that social studies tests expect.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
After finishing the Good and Services Worksheet, take a walk through your neighborhood or a grocery flyer and list the goods and services you see. Invite students to brainstorm a small business they could start, decide whether it sells a good or a service, and set a fair price. Families can talk about which services they pay for each month and which goods they buy each week.
