Does anyone have any good lessons for community helpers

Hi there,
Im looking for a kindergarten lesson plan on community helpers
short 15 minutes in duration
i was thinking maybe a brief discussion and then they could act out different types of community helpers
or maybe some type of a game
please give feedback..
thanks

 

What about reading them a book?

 

Yes! Any one know any good ones?
I'll head to the library tomorrow to look
Thanks for responding

 

I would ask the librarian, and if they have a librarian who works specifically in the children's department, then that would be perfect. I don't have any particular ones in mind though.

 

Did you google?

I usually open the community helper discussion, by writing my morning message: "Who helps us in our community?" Then the students brainstorm a list of people who are community helpers.

Before our community helper lesson, we start with a school helper lesson. We brainstorm all the people who help us in school first.

 

I usually show this short Brain Pop video then talk about the different community helpers that are shown and ask if there are any other ones they can think of. http://www.brainpopjr.com/socialstudies/communities/communityhelpers/
