Goods and Services
Grade 2 · Social Studies · Economics · Wisconsin, USA
Lesson Summary
Goods are things you can buy and hold. Services are jobs people do for you.
Explanation
Everything you can buy is either a good or a service. Goods are things you can touch and take home, like food, clothes, toys, and books. Services are jobs that people do to help you, like a haircut from a barber, a checkup from a doctor, or a ride on a school bus. Some businesses sell goods, some sell services, and some sell both. We need both goods and services in our daily lives.
