grade 1 needs wants goods services worksheets

📚 Topic Summary

Everything we do involves needs, wants, goods, and services. A need is something you must have to survive, like food, water, and shelter. A want is something you would like to have, but you can live without it, such as toys or candy. Goods are things you can touch and use, like a book or a car. Services are things that people do for you, like a doctor helping you when you are sick or a teacher teaching you at school.

Understanding these differences helps us make smart choices every day!
