Community helpers included in this printable:

  • Mail Carrier
  • Teacher
  • Chef
  • Veterinarian
  • Construction Worker

How It Works

Each mat focuses on a specific community helper—such as a police officer, doctor, or firefighter—and comes with a selection of photos of tools and equipment. Students simply match the objects to the correct community helper. For instance, the police officer mat includes items like handcuffs, a police car, a flashlight, and more.

Tailoring the Activity to Your Students

One of the best things about this resource is its flexibility. You can easily adjust the difficulty level based on your students’ needs. Want to make it more challenging? Increase the number of mats or community helpers they have to sort at once. Looking for something simpler? Reduce the number of mats or helpers and let them focus on just a few at a time.
