Build a Social Studies Scene Pop Up Crafts and Graphic Organizers

These "build a scene" social studies dioramas are a great way to combine art with learning. Your students will love learning about Maps, American Symbols, Long Ago vs. Today, and Citizenship and getting to design an art craft to accompany their learning.

This resource includes 4 easy-prep social studies projects: Me on the Map, American Symbols, Long Ago vs. Today, and Citizenship in the Classroom

Each social studies activity includes a graphic organizer for students to complete with new information they have learned. Graphic organizers are included with and without primary writing lines.

These activities are a great supplement to any first grade social studies program!

PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that the social studies diorama pages be printed on cardstock, construction paper, or backed with cardboard/a shoebox for stability. Students can cut down any of the pieces needed to assemble the pieces to their liking. 

Students will need grade level appropriate fine motor/scissor skills for this activity. They will also need an appropriate amount of time to complete this activity, as it is an art project and a social studies project combined.
