When I Grow Up I Want to Be

Name each helper and talk about what they do before your child starts matching. Point out helpers on your next outing, like the mail carrier or a crossing guard. The who can help me page is a good time to talk about who your child can ask for help.

Six community helpers pages for ages 3-5. Children match each helper to a tool, match helpers to where they work, count the tools in each box, match helpers to their shadows and match each problem to the helper who can fix it. On the last page they draw themselves as the helper they want to be when they grow up. Five pages have an answer key.

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool community helpers, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with helpers in our community. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

6 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
