About this resource
Description
Asking for help is a big step for young learners. Many children stay quiet when a pencil breaks or a word is too hard, because they are not sure what to say. The Help is On the Way Asking Questions Activity gives them the words they need. Children read a simple problem, choose a question starter, and ask for help in a whole, polite question.
This asking questions game uses superhero-themed cards. Players take a help problem card, such as a broken pencil or an untied shoe, and read it out loud. Next, they pick a question card like “Can you please help me with this?” or “Where can I find the classroom glue?” and use it to ask a partner for help. The partner plays the helper and answers. A 1st grade practice worksheet asks children to pick the best question for each problem, and answer keys make checking quick.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover and a How to Use page with simple steps
- 8 help problem picture cards
- 6 question starter cards shaped like speech bubbles
- 1st grade practice worksheet: choose the best question to ask for help
- Card list with a sample question for each problem
- Answer key for the practice page
Why Kids Love It
- Playing the helper and the hero turns asking for help into a fun game.
- Big pictures make every problem easy to understand, even for early readers.
- Question cards give shy speakers the exact words to start with.
Teaching Ideas
Before you play, model a problem out loud and show how you would ask for help in a whole question. After the Help is On the Way Asking Questions Activity, tape the question cards to desks or a classroom wall so children can use them any time they get stuck. You can also add new problem cards from your own classroom routines, like a lost lunch box or a stuck backpack zipper.
