Community Helpers Matching

Kindergarten Social StudiesMy Family and Community7 pages

About this worksheet

Three draw-a-line matches make up this kindergarten social studies set. Students first pair a firefighter, teacher, doctor, and mail carrier with the jobs they do, such as "Keeps us healthy." The second match links helpers to a tool or vehicle, from a stethoscope to a fire truck, and the third links them to where they work: hospital, school, post office, or police station. Picture cues sit on both sides, so prereaders can work alone. The 7 pages support C3 Framework D2.Civ.2.K-2, and an answer key lists all 12 matches.

What's inside this worksheet

Helper to job

Students draw lines from four helpers to "Delivers the mail," "Keeps us healthy," "Puts out fires," and "Helps us learn." Each job has a picture, such as a mailbox or a fire hose.

Helper to tool or vehicle

The police officer, firefighter, doctor, and teacher match to a police car, fire truck, stethoscope, and a stack of books.

Helper to place of work

Four helpers match to four buildings: a brick hospital with a red cross, a school with a slide, a post office, and a police station with a badge.

Answer key

All 12 correct pairs, grouped by job, tool, and place.

How teachers use it

Read the jobs aloud

Most kindergartners cannot read "Keeps us healthy" yet. Read each phrase once and point to its picture, then let students draw the lines.

One match a day

Seven pages is a lot for five-year-olds. Hand out one match per day across a week of community helper lessons.

Dress-up center

Put the tool match, with its fire truck, police car, stethoscope, and books, next to the dress-up box. Students choose a costume, then find the tool their helper uses.
