Everyday And Today

Worksheet Description

The “My Needs | My Wants” worksheet is a visual and interactive tool designed for students to categorize and record their daily necessities and desires. It features two large, rounded rectangles where students can list or draw items, encouraging both literacy and creativity. The first box is labeled “Things that I Need Every Day,” prompting students to consider and note down the essentials required for their everyday well-being. This may include items like food, water, and shelter, which are fundamental for survival.

The second box, marked “Things that I Want Today,” offers a space for students to reflect on and list items or experiences that they desire but that are not essential for their basic needs. This could encompass toys, games, or any other non-essential goods that would bring them joy or entertainment. Illustrated with a small character happily clutching a pencil, the worksheet combines simplicity with a playful design, making the task of distinguishing between needs and wants accessible and engaging. This exercise not only aids in teaching students about the difference between needs and wants but also helps them in developing prioritization skills and understanding the value of resources. The clear distinction between the two categories on the worksheet reinforces the importance of recognizing and appreciating what they truly require versus what they simply wish for.
