Social Studies Lessons & Classroom Resources
Select a Social Studies course to find free lessons, worksheets, primary sources, activities, and review resources for your classroom.
Teach Arcade’s Social Studies hub helps teachers find classroom-ready resources fast—organized by course and built for real instruction. Each section includes free materials such as lesson plans, worksheets, primary sources, guided notes, projects, and review activities that support historical thinking, civic reasoning, map skills, and economic decision-making.
These collections work well for stations, inquiry lessons, DBQ-style writing, document analysis, test prep, and sub days. If you’re planning a new unit or building a standards-based curriculum, you can browse by course below and quickly pull resources without paywalls.
Start with U.S. History and World History for chronological units and major eras, use Government & Civics for constitutional principles and civic participation, explore Geography for regions and human-environment interactions, and use Economics for markets, tradeoffs, and real-world financial literacy connections.
