Let’s Learn

Needs are things people can’t live without, while

wants are all the other extra things that people

would like to have to live a better life.

Needs and Wants

 Needs are things we must have to

live. We need air to breathe, food to eat,

clothes to wear, and a place to live in.

 Wants are things that are nice to have, like

special clothes, toys, computers,

or bicycles.

 It is important to decide what is a

priority to our life.

 We have to decide what a need is in

order to live, or study well, or do our

work.

 We should decide

what we must

have and

what is

optional.
