Rules & Responsibilities — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A rule tells us what we should do.
A rule is a guide that tells us the right thing to do, so the missing word is rule.
2. We put our backpack in the cubby.
Cubbies are the spot where backpacks belong, which keeps the floor clear and our things easy to find.
3. We use kind words with everyone.
Speaking nicely to everyone we meet is using kind words, so kind fits the blank.
4. We throw trash in the bin.
Trash belongs in the bin so the room stays clean and tidy for everyone.
5. At home we help set the table.
Setting the table is a chore at home, like putting out plates or forks, so we help set the table.
6. We wash our hands before eating.
Washing our hands before eating gets the germs off so we stay healthy, which is why wash is the right word.
7. We wait for our turn to speak.
Waiting for our turn to speak is polite and lets others share their ideas, so turn fills the blank.
8. We push in our chair after sitting.
After we get up, pushing in the chair keeps the space neat and safe so no one trips, so chair is the missing word.
9. We are helpful when someone is hurt.
When someone is hurt, the kind thing to do is to help them, which makes helpful the right word.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Raise your hand
→ Before you speak
Before you speak
Walk in the hall
→ Stay safe inside
Stay safe inside
Clean up toys
→ Be responsible
Be responsible
Listen to teacher
→ Show respect
Show respect
Raise your hand goes with 'Before you speak' because raising a hand is how we ask for a turn to talk. Walk in the hall pairs with 'Stay safe inside' since walking, not running, prevents bumps and falls. Cleaning up toys matches 'Be responsible' because taking care of our things is doing our job. Listening to the teacher pairs with 'Show respect' because paying attention shows we value what they say.
