To play Dirty Tooth, students rolled a die and counted out the coordinating number of food (aka pom poms). We read a book about chefs and made letter soup as a follow-up activity! Students rolled a color dice and picked a matching veggie counter or magnet letter! Simple, but a ton of fun! Students were talking all about letter names and sounds too!Īnytime I can have an opportunity to teach kiddos about being healthy, I do! I did a few activities about dentists and the tools to keep our teeth healthy. They LOVED this activity and played it over and over again during center time! I wrote letters (you can do numbers or shapes, too) on thick cardboard, and students hammered golf tees (aka nails) on the letters. One of my students’ favorite community helpers are construction workers so I wanted to create an activity using construction worker tools. >Grab the FREEBIE by entering your email in the box at the bottom of this blog post!>Grab the FREEBIE by entering your email in the box at the bottom of this blog post!<< I also put out wooden vehicles, community signs, and sign books. On the wall, I posted some STEM I Can Build Posters to give students a visual of what various community buildings looked like.
I like to give students an opportunity to build their own communities. It also sparked conversations about what they wanted to be when they grew up! They were talking, writing, and drawing all about different community helpers. The kiddos went crazy for our community helper word cards in the writing center. Check out my favorites in the Community Helper Booklist post. We filled the bookshelf with tons of fiction and non-fiction community helper books. To start the theme, we did this community helper puzzle! Students have to match the tools and/or vehicles to each community helper.

There are so many fun community helper themed activities you can do with preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten kiddos. A Community Helper theme teaches students about all the people who live and work in their neighborhood.
