Community Helper Word Cards

By Karen Cox | Affiliate Disclosure | Filed Under: Community Helpers Theme, Picture-Word Cards

This set of printable Community Helper Word Cards has 30 community helpers words with pictures: firefighter, mail carrier,  police officer, doctor, paramedic, nurse, vet, dentist, pharmacist, construction worker, forest ranger, teacher, bus driver, crossing guard, custodian, coach, judge, librarian, life guard, military, meteorologist, reporter, mechanic, trash collector, baker, chef, farmer, plumber, grocer, hair stylist.

Community Helper Word Cards

There are more sets like this in the Picture-Word Cards collection. This set goes with my Community Theme.

How to use the word cards:

There are a few ways you can use these picture-word cards and display them.

You can place the cards in a pocket chart. Kids can take the words out of the pocket chart to take to the table if they want to copy the word on their paper. I keep a pocket chart on the wall of my Writing Center and change out the word cards for each theme.

You can make picture dictionaries by punching a hole in the top left corner (punch hole dot provided). Hook them together with a metal binder ring.

You can use these cards to practice clapping or stomping the syllables in the words.

You might also want to put them in the pocket chart during the theme, then later hook them on a picture dictionary ring to add to a collection of thematic words through the year.

The blank set of cards has the picture without the word. These can be used for other languages or other writing styles, such as D’nealian.

    Hey Karen
    I am so thankful for your website. I tried to open the community helper picture word cards but nothing comes up but the transportation word cards do work.

      They are both working for me. You may need to just wait a bit to let them load. If that doesn’t work, try updating your Adobe Reader. Hope that helps!

          Do you have the newest version of Adobe Reader? I have checked the file & it appears to be fine. https://www.prekinders.com/printing-problems/

    I wanted to know if the Dentist card is missing a picture on your end too? When I open it that is the only one that does not have a picture on it.
    Thank you Karen for all that you do!

    Thank you so much for sharing so generously and for creating perfect material. This is exactly what I was looking for – community helpers who are not cartoons, but the real people who live and work in our world. A thousand thanks!

    I really like the layout of your word cards. However, there’s no words on the cards when I opened it. Any suggestions for me?

      There are two sets: one has words, one does not. Just make sure you’re opening the file that has words (that is, don’t click “Blank Cards”).
