Map your neighborhood
Have kids draw the places they pass on the way to school: a park, a store, a fire station. Then label which ones give goods and which give services. Their own map makes community real in a way a textbook picture can't.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).
