2nd Grade Social Studies

Second grade social studies introduces kids to communities, traditions, and maps in simple, meaningful ways. Our 2nd Grade Social Studies collection brings together vetted, secular resources for homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers teaching children around ages 7–8. You’ll find story-based curricula, community and family studies, early geography and map skills, and gentle introductions to history and holidays that respect diverse cultures. Every resource is reviewed for developmental appropriateness, inclusive representation, and hands-on engagement through crafts, role play, and simple projects. Use the filters to explore by focus (communities, families, geography, holidays and traditions, or basic civics), format (books, unit studies, printables, or online programs), and learning needs such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or 2e. Many families weave 2nd grade social studies into daily conversations and read-alouds using materials from this collection. If you’re unsure how much structure makes sense at this age, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can suggest social studies resources that fit your child and your family culture.
