What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify ways people can give money, goods, or time to help others. They explain how giving can benefit both the receiver and the giver.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given a simple situation, students can choose a helpful gift and name who may receive it. They can explain one benefit for the receiver and one positive effect on the giver.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think people can give only money or expensive items. They may think giving always earns a prize, or that one person must give away everything they have.
How to Assess It
- Use this exit ticket: “Ben gives $2 to an animal shelter. Draw or write how his gift could help Ben and the animals.”

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs play coins and three charity cards, then have them choose where to donate and explain their choice.
Ask, “How can giving help the person who gives and the person who receives?” and record two student examples.
Play a matching game in which students pair donation cards, such as books or food, with people or groups who could use them.
Show a local food bank wish list, then have students select one item their class could collect and explain why.
