From our teachers' playbook

Helpers, neighbors and good citizens!

What do kids learn about community?

Community starts right outside the classroom door. Young kids learn that a community is a group of people who live, work and play together, and they meet the helpers who keep it running: firefighters, doctors, teachers and mail carriers. Older kids learn about goods and services, leaders and rules, and how communities can be urban, suburban or rural. Along the way, they figure out what it means to be a good citizen. The click comes when a child realizes they are part of the community too!

Our favorite ways to teach community

Community is best taught by looking around. These moves connect big ideas to kids' own streets and families.

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).

Start with a song

A catchy community song is a perfect hook on day one. Play it, then pause and ask, "Which helper did we just hear about?" Kids remember the jobs because they remember the tune.

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Career dress-up day

Let kids pick a community helper, gather a prop or two, and act out a day on the job. Then they match each career to the tool it uses on paper. Acting it out first makes the matching easy.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Questions teachers and parents ask

How do you explain community to kindergarten?

Tell them a community is a group of people who live, work and play near each other. Then point out real examples: the school, the grocery store, the neighbors. Kids get it fastest when they see their own community.

What are community helpers?

Community helpers are people whose jobs keep a community safe, healthy and running. Firefighters, police officers, doctors, teachers, mail carriers and farmers are favorite examples for young kids.

What are the three types of communities?

Urban communities are cities with lots of people and tall buildings. Suburban communities are neighborhoods near a city. Rural communities are in the countryside with farms and open land.

How can kids be good citizens?

Good citizens follow rules, help others, take care of shared spaces and respect their neighbors. Even picking up trash on the playground counts!
