OOPA’S Civics Collection
Civics Videos for Kids
Lately, the ‘World of Words’ feels busier than ever! Young children are observant — they are picking up bits of information from their families, their neighbors, the news, and advertisements. And by nature, they are trying to make sense of it all.
The Civics Collection introduces preschool, preK, and early elementary learners to foundational civic concepts and vocabulary words that will help them process what they are already observing all around them, and lay the groundwork for them to become active and engaged citizens as they mature.
From fundamental concepts like DEMOCRACY and CITIZEN, to civic actions like VOTE, to the necessary social skills that help a democracy function like CONVERSATION and COMPROMISE, this collection of civics videos for kids offers an age-appropriate introduction to important new words.
Tenants of quality character education, OOPA explores various civic values in The Civics Collection:
- Everyone deserves respect
- Everyone has something to share with their voice
- Contributing to your community and supporting community members is important
- With leadership comes responsibility
- Speaking and listening are both essential parts of a healthy conversation
Like all videos in OOPA’S World of Words, these civics videos for kids uniquely combine language and literacy skills, physical movement, and emotional reflection. When new words are experienced through multiple modalities, including movement, we increase accessibility to substantive learning and solidify greater retention.
Moving the body can help move the mind, allowing new concepts to be more memorable and helping our children better navigate our world of words.
