Mission
Activity
We have learned about
different community helpers and what their jobs consist of. Now we will
be applying our knowledge of our topic to accomplish a special mission.
The website What's My
Job? provides an interesting interactive game where you match the
job description of a specific community helper with their picture.
After playing the game and getting more knowledgeable about community
helpers you will then choose your favorite helper and draw a picture of
them.
Mission Steps 1. Go to the website What's My Job? and
play the interactive matching game.
2. After matching the pictures with the job descriptions, pick your favorite community helper and draw a picture of them. 3. Use your art supplies to color your helper. 4. Explain to your teacher why you chose that community helper, and turn the picture in so it can be placed on the Internet. |
