🎨 Art Lesson: Helping Our Community

🌟 Introduction: A Creative Journey

Good morning, little artists! Today, we're going to embark on a special creative journey. Before we dip our brushes into paint, let’s discover something amazing about our world. Did you know that there are many wonderful people in our community who help others every day? These are our heroes, and they come from all walks of life!

🤔 Think & Share

What Do You See?

Let’s start by looking at a picture together. [Show a colourful image of community helpers, such as firemen, nurses, teachers, and shopkeepers].

• Question: Who can you see in this picture?
• Discussion: What do you think these people do to help others?

Let’s shout out the names of these heroes!

🎨 Activity: Create Your Community Helper!

Now, let’s get our creative juices flowing!

Materials Needed:

• Coloured paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Crayons or felt-tips
• Craft materials (like cotton balls, buttons, or fabric scraps)

Steps:

1. Choose your favourite community helper from our discussion earlier.
2. Think about what they wear and what tools they use.
3. Using the coloured paper and craft materials, create your very own person that helps our community!
4. Once you're done, you can name your helper and tell us how they make our community a better place.

Sharing Time!

After we finish creating, let’s gather around in a circle. One by one, we’ll share our creations!

• What is your helper’s name?
• How do they help people in our community?

🎉 Closing: Celebrating Our Heroes

By working together to create our community helpers, we’re not only having fun but also learning to appreciate what they do for us. Remember, everyone can help in their own special way!

Let’s Wrap Up:

Before we finish, let’s give a big cheer for all our community helpers! They do so much for us – and you just showed that you can be a helper too, through your art!

🎨 Final Thought

As we go home today, think about how you can help at home or in your community, just like our heroes. Maybe tomorrow, you can draw or paint them helping others!

Happy creating, everyone! 🌈
