Rules and Why We Have Them
Aligned to C3.D2.Civ — C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards.
What this lesson teaches
Rules help people stay safe and get along. People in charge, like teachers and parents, help make and enforce rules.
Worked example
A classroom rule like 'raise your hand to speak' helps everyone get a turn and keeps the room from getting too loud.
Practice questions
- Name a rule at school and why it helps.
- Who helps make the rules at home?
- What might happen with no rules at all?

Las Reglas y Por Qué las Tenemos
Las reglas ayudan a las personas a estar seguras y a llevarse bien. Las personas a cargo, como los maestros y los padres, ayudan a crear y hacer cumplir las reglas.
Ejemplo: Una regla del salón como 'levanta la mano para hablar' ayuda a que todos tengan su turno y evita que el salón se ponga muy ruidoso.
