Students will understand the concept of community helpers and recognize various roles they play in our daily lives. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to identify at least three community helpers and describe their jobs.
Greeting and Introduction
Begin by welcoming the students. Gather them in a circle and ask them if they can name someone who helps people in the community.
Discussion
Introduce the term "community helpers" and explain that these are people who help us in our everyday lives. Mention a few examples (firefighters, police officers, doctors) and ask students to share their experiences or if they know anyone working in those roles.
Picture Card Discussion
Show the students picture cards of various community helpers. For each card:
Interactive Reflection
As you display each card, facilitate a brief discussion about the importance of each role in the community and how it helps everyone.

Discussion Questions
After reading, ask the children:
Drawing Activity
Tell the students that they can choose their favorite community helper and draw a picture of them. Provide crayons, markers, and colored paper for them to use.
Sharing Time
After they finish their drawings, invite a few students to share their artwork with the class and explain who their community helper is and what they do.
Recap
Gather the students back in a circle and summarize what they learned about community helpers.
Closing Activity
Sing a simple song related to community helpers or do a quick movement game to keep the energy high.
Goodbye
Thank the students for their participation and remind them to think about different ways they can help their own community, just like the helpers they learned about.
