Values play a key role in order to exist in social life practices and to ensure the continuity of culture. As a matter of fact, values are a system of beliefs consisting of the experiences of the individual through socialization. In this context, in the study, sample activities were presented in the worksheets supported by nine values in the 4th grade social studies curriculum (SSLC). Literary genres such as epics, stories, poems, proverbs, quotations, comics, and biography were used in the worksheets. As a matter of fact, it is known that the use of literary works in the learning and teaching process serves permanent learning. For this reason, literary works were used in the worksheets prepared on value transfer in the study. Literary works appear as a reflector and transmitter of culture. These works are seen as important works in reflecting the social life, social relations, moral, and religious values of the period. This is important in order to ensure that values are internalized correctly. In this context, it is thought that the study will guide educators.
