Use the cards in a reading center or as a whole class scoot. Read the questions aloud for younger children and talk about how the picture shows the reason.
What are the Community Helpers Cause and Effect Cards?
⌄
A cover and 5 pages: 4 pages of task cards and a recording sheet. Each of the 12 cards asks a why question about a helper, such as "Why is the firefighter using the hose?" or "Why is the crossing guard holding up a stop sign?", with answers a, b and c. The directions read: "Look at the picture and read the question. Choose the answer that tells why: a, b or c." Children circle their answers on the recording sheet, and an answer key shows the correct letter for every card.
Can I use the Community Helpers Cause and Effect Cards 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.
