________________________________________________________
Kindergarteners will explain the difference between
basic human needs and wants. (Discuss that they
may not be able to have everything they want.)
There is a difference between what people may actually
need and what they may want to have.
A need is something that you must have in order to live or
survive.
A want is something that you desire or would like to have
or possess. Usually, it is not necessary for life.
There are some basic things that all people need to live,
regardless of where they are on Earth.
All people need to breathe air. However, they may want
to breathe clean air.
All people need food to eat. However, they may want to
eat junk food.
All people need water to drink. However, they may want
to drink clean water.
All people need clothing to protect their bodies. However,
they may want to wear more expensive designer clothing.
All people need shelter to protect them from the weather.
However, they may want large houses in which to live.
People around the world may have different wants, but they
all need air, food, water, clothing and shelter to live.
