Classroom Tips

Give job description clues, instead of saying the name, describe what they do: "This person makes sure the food in stores and restaurants is safe to eat" (Food Inspector). Builds comprehension and critical thinking.

Sort by category, after the game have students group helpers by where they work: hospital, school, outdoors, courthouse, construction site, food industry.

Career connection, ask students which community helper they'd most like to be when they grow up and why. Great discussion starter and writing prompt.

Invite a guest speaker, use the bingo game as a warm-up before a parent or community member visits to talk about their job.
