About This Collection

Civics Lesson Plans for Elementary Students

Civic engagement is a crucial aspect of a well-functioning society, and it is important that this is fostered from a young age. This collection of preK-5 teaching resources has been specially curated to provide educators and parents with an extensive array of civics resources designed specifically for elementary students.

It is more important than ever to ensure that younger people are instilled with the values and understanding necessary to actively participate in their communities and the wider world. These resources are designed to develop a strong sense of civic responsibility and awareness in students, providing them with a solid foundation for their future learning. As we live in an age where information is readily available, it is essential that students are taught to not only receive knowledge but also to actively engage with it, developing their ability to critically analyze and process information.

From hands-on activities that explore the fundamentals of democracy to in-depth discussions about the rights and responsibilities of citizens, these resources are designed to pique the intellectual curiosity of students and encourage them to become involved in their communities. Further, the collection includes a variety of multimedia resources such as videos, infographics and interactive games that cater to different learning styles, ensuring that all students can connect with the material in a way that resonates with them.

At Share My Lesson, we firmly believe that a solid civics education is vital for the development of well-rounded individuals who can navigate the complexities of our modern world. By providing our young citizens with the necessary knowledge and skills to be active, informed participants in civic life, we are making a valuable investment in the future of our democracy.

Educating for Democratic Citizenship

The Shanker Institute in partnership with the American Federation of Teachers, Share My Lesson the and the AFT Innovation Fund has launched this Educating for Democratic Citizenship Project whereby a group of accomplished, experienced AFT educators have developed these Action Civics lessons and materials that we hope will improve teaching and learning of American History, Government, and Civics for teachers and students.
