Maps and directions, community helpers, needs and wants, long ago and today, and how people work together.
Social studies starts close to home and moves outward. Younger kids learn left and right, how to read a simple map, who the helpers in a community are, the difference between needs and wants, and how to name a feeling and calm down.
By 2nd and 3rd grade it's continents, oceans and U.S. regions, how rules, local government and voting work, and how life, school and tools have changed since long ago.
There's no common national standard for elementary social studies the way there is for math and reading, so these games don't list standard codes. Each state sets its own. The topics here are ones most K–3 classrooms cover, so ask your kid's teacher which one their class is on.
Every social studies game reads its questions aloud.
Each game moves up a level after a strong round and back one after a tough round. Here are the levels, easiest first.
