Community Helpers & Careers Pocket Flash Cards

As an educator, rate this excellent! Great pictures. I used them for autistic children to identify community workers and their tools. Also to encourage communication.

Funny money for such a great idea! Very educational and entertaining game. Great for toddlers. Highly recommend.

a really good set of cards to teach kids community helpers and where you should see them.

These are great cards for get children involved in learning about the jobs of others in the community! There are 27 occupations cards and 27 tool cards included in this deck. What's great is that they use occupations that children come in contact with on a regular basis, like a doctor or librarian. I also love that they used real pictures of people and tools rather than cartoonish drawings.So take the firefighter as an example, on one card there is a picture of a firefighter on the front and on the back, it gives several information facts about them. It asks, do you like challenging, dangerous, physical work; helping people; working as part of a team? The requirements of becoming a firefighter: including what college is needed, physical stamina and training. Then the duties that a firefighter performs: rescuing victims, inspecting buildings for fire hazards, teaching fire prevention and safety. It also lists where they work: firehouses, airports, scenes of accidents. Also jobs that are related: fire investigator, forest fire prevention, fire cost inspector. The tool card shows pictures of equipment that someone in that profession would use, so the firefighter has an ax, alarm, hose, and gives the description of those on the back.The occupations included in this deck are: bank teller, chef, construction worker, delivery person, dentist, doctor, factory worker, farmer, firefighter, hair stylist, highway worker, judge, librarian, mail carrier, mechanic, military, nurse, paramedic, pilot, pharmacist, police officer, religious leaders, sales clerk, sanitation worker, school bus driver, teacher, and veterinarian.These cards are great for any kid who wants to learn more about the people who work in their community!

We attached these to an interactive bulletin board and had students match the occupations to their tools. Then, they could read about them on the back. It is a great resource.

Bought the new version of Community cards because I lost my older Community cards somehow. I have to say that some of the pictures from the older version were better (especially the dentist, bus driver). However, there are some new ones added like the baker, which is neat. This newer version needs to be revised.

Great flash cards. Good clear pictures and good information on the back. Great start to learning about many different careers and people. We home school and I plan to introduce a new community helper each week as part of my daughters preschool curriculum. These are helpful for her as well as being helpful for me as well. Gives me a great starting point to work from for each weeks lesson.

Love this set, it has not only the helpers but also the tools they use in their field and on the back of the cards gives descriptions about the jobs they do. This is great for anyone who uses PEAK.
