Community Helpers: Match the Tools

Created by

I needed something simple to cover our Pre-K standard about community helpers, so I came up with this super easy game that covers math (sorting), Social Studies (community helpers), and Language Arts (speaking, vocabulary)! Students will match the tools to the community helper that uses it. If you want to extend the lesson, ask the students what the helper does with that tool. This is a great tool for small group or one-on-one lessons. This is a FREE product!
