Community Helper and Transportation match-up

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Click on the picture to download the Community Helper and Transportation match-up I created using the cuuuutest Lettering Delights graphics. The automobiles are called "Get a Job" SVGs. The little people are "Grown Up Boys" and "Grown Up Girls" graphic sets.

Have your students play concentration, use the cards to match the helper with his/her form of transportation in a pocket chart, or cut the names apart from the community helper's pictures and have your students match the pictures to the names. The activities are endless!

P.S. Is an astronaut considered a community helper?? I mean, I guess he could help the community...and is it okay that the teacher is driving the school bus??

This License Plate Game can be used to practice letter or number recognition or writing. It's also a lot of fun for a group of children because everyone gets to be actively involved. You could also use this activity during a theme on Community Helpers and read a story about a police officer's job.

How to Play the License Plate Game

You will need clothespins and either index cards or construction paper.

Each child gets a turn to be the "driver". Write a letter or number on the index card or paper and clip it to the driver's back. The child pretends to "drive" around the group, and parks in his seat. The other children in the group identify the letter or number.

There are several ways to differentiate this lesson for your unique students.

Children can find the same letter or numeral among their set of letter manipulatives (you could use letter tiles or magnetic letters).

Children can write the letter or numeral on a dry erase lapboard. They can pretend to write a speeding ticket if you use this game during a community helpers unit.

(1) Write one letter or number on each card.

(2) Write two letters or numbers on each card.

(3) Write three letters or numbers on each card.

A Fireman
(A finger play)

This brave fireman is going to bed

(hold up right thumb)

Down on the pillow he lays his head

(right thumb on left palm)

Wraps himself in his blanket tight

(curl fingers around thumb)

And plans to sleep this way all night

(close eyes)
But the fire alarm rings!  He opens his eyes!

(open eyes)

Quickly he's dressed and down the pole he slides

(right hand slides down left arm in a grip from elbow to wrist)

Then he climbs on the truck to go, go, go.

(hands manipulate imaginary steering wheel)
