FAQ
How do I use the Community Helper Hats?
⌄
Let each child pick a hat, or print a full set so small groups can act out the five jobs. Keep a stapler at the adult's table for the last step.
What are the Community Helper Hats?
⌄
A cover and 5 pages, one hat per page: mail carrier, pilot, farmer, crossing guard and park ranger. Each page has the hat and two strips, A and B, with glue ends. Children color the hat and strips, cut them out on the dashed lines and glue a strip to each side of the back of the hat. An adult then fits the band around the child's head, staples the loose ends and trims any extra.
Can I use the Community Helper Hats at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade community helpers, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
Which resources have an answer key?
⌄
The cause and effect cards, the hidden objects and I Spy pages and the Who Can Help? problem solving cards have an answer key. The rest are games, crafts, posters and templates.
Is there one download with many of these resources?
⌄
Yes. The Community Helpers Activity Pack gathers 15 Kindergarten to 2nd grade resources, from the job match and word search to flash cards, a wheel craft and posters, in one PDF.
