A Day with a Community Helper Storyboard

Kindergarten Social StudiesMy Family and Community2 pages

About this worksheet

Students pick one community helper, such as a firefighter, teacher, doctor, or mail carrier, and draw six panels that follow that person from morning to the end of the day. Two planning questions come first: who the helper is, and where they work plus one tool they use. Each panel has a caption line for a short sentence or a few words. The 2-page kindergarten sheet has no answer key, since every story differs. It works toward C3 Framework D2.Civ.2.K-2 and D4.2.K-2, which asks for events in the correct sequence.

What's inside this worksheet

Plan Your Story Book

Question 1 asks who the community helper is. Question 2 asks where they work and for one tool they use.

Your Helper Storyboard

A table of six panels in two rows, each with a caption line. Panel 1 shows the helper's morning and Panel 6 ends the day.

How teachers use it

After a read-aloud

Read a picture book about one helper first. Students then have a model day to borrow from when they plan panels 2 to 5.

Talk before drawing

Have partners tell each other the six steps out loud before anyone draws. Students who can say the order usually get it right on paper.

Caption support

Six captions is a big ask in kindergarten. Accept one word per panel, or scribe the sentence while the student dictates.
