My Community Helpers
Parent and child create a community scene together using pictures of helpers like doctors, police officers, and firefighters. The agent coaches the parent to observe how the child identifies different helpers, follows positional instructions (front/back, on/over/under), and uses appropriate volume while talking about community roles — building early systems thinking and social awareness.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent and child sitting together at a table. Have pictures of community helpers (doctor, police officer, firefighter, mail carrier, gardener), plus trees and sun. Paper, crayons, and tape available. Child should be alert and engaged.
