Community Helper Theme

I highly recommend doing a community helpers unit with students in preschool, kindergarten, or 1st grade. It is great for helping kids learn more about their community and teach that everyone’s job plays an important role in their community.

Before teaching about community helpers, make sure you explain what a community is. It can be small with only a few buildings and homes or the opposite, with a large population.

Who are Community Helpers?

The community helpers are people that help each other by offering goods and services. Here are some examples:

dentists
mail carrier
police officer
nurse
firemen
doctor
librarian
veterinarian
carpenter
teacher
farmer
baker
mechanic
detective
soldier
scientist
gardener
pilot
grocery store cashier

engineers

Of course, there are more community helpers, but this list is just a start.

On the 16 posters, there is a simple definition of their job. These would be great to display around a classroom.
