Goods and Services Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,
A short introduction distinguishes producing goods from providing services and explains that earned money can be used to buy goods. Learners then draw connections between pictured service providers and consumer items. The pairing format links two economic roles within one exchange cycle rather than asking for isolated vocabulary definitions. Discussion can extend the page by considering why several plausible purchases may exist even when the worksheet intends particular visual matches.

Identifying Top or Bottom Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,
The page introduces a two-choice spatial relation: top versus bottom. In each picture, learners locate a hat relative to another object, determine whether it is above at the top or below at the bottom, and circle the printed word that matches. The repeated symbol keeps the object being tracked consistent while the surrounding pictures change. The repeated comparison keeps attention on positional language rather than counting, naming, or writing about the surrounding objects.

My Feelings Iceberg
, Not Grade Specific,
My Feelings Iceberg uses the familiar above-water and below-water metaphor to distinguish outward expression from internal emotion. Learners record feelings other people can see in the upper area and feelings they do not show in the submerged section. The simple contrast can open discussion about how behaviour does not always reveal the full emotional experience. The page is suited to guided reflection, check-ins, or counseling conversations rather than diagnosis or forced disclosure.

My Identity Iceberg – Visible & Invisible Identity
, Not Grade Specific,
My Identity Iceberg uses the waterline as a visual boundary between two kinds of self-description. Learners record outwardly visible parts of identity above the line and less visible experiences, beliefs, roles, or characteristics below it. The open organiser supplies no fixed identity categories, leaving the distinction to the learner while preserving a clear visible-versus-invisible comparison. Both response areas remain open beyond that distinction, so learners determine the identity content they share.
