About this resource
Description
This community workers activity helps young children learn who helps in their town, where those helpers work, and the tools they use every day. Firefighters, doctors, mail carriers, police officers, bakers and teachers all keep a community safe, healthy and happy. Matching tools to places gives children a simple, hands-on way to talk about jobs and to see how people depend on one another.
How to Use This Activity
Print the tool cards and place cards one-sided and cut them apart. Lay the six place cards face up, such as the Fire Station, the Hospital and the Bakery. Children take a tool card, name the tool, tell who uses it, and place it under the building where that worker helps. Every place gets two tools, so children can check their own work. This preschool community activity fits a social studies center, a small group, circle time or a community helpers unit, and a Kindergarten practice page reviews the same idea with new tools.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page with simple steps
- 12 tool picture cards, two for each community place
- 6 place cards: Fire Station, Hospital, Post Office, Police Station, Bakery and School
- A Kindergarten practice worksheet: circle the place where each tool is used
- An answer key with every tool match and the practice answers
Why It Helps Kids
- Children learn the names of community workers and the important jobs they do.
- Matching each tool to its place builds sorting, reasoning and vocabulary skills.
- Talking about helpers shows children how people in a community work together.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
After the community workers activity, take a walk and look for the places on the cards, or invite a local helper to visit your class. Children can act out a job while friends guess the worker, or draw the helper they would like to be one day.
