Community Helpers CUTOUTS!
This blog post is about how to use the cutouts. I have seen on many Instagram pictures of teachers that do distance teaching use lots of cutouts. I have used them for years. The book series for Preschool and some Elementary would come with them. It changes the pace of always using flashcards. Here are just a few ideas and along the blog you can check a lot more activities that might suit your class.
IDEA 1. Help your students become better readers. I made labels for each cutout. But you can make labels for any community helper cutout that you have or create.
IDEA 2.
Create puppets just by gluing a craft stick.
IDEA 3. Review prepositions or positional words. This can
be done with young students and with older ones as well. I glued the town
building in front of a lunch bag in order to do the preposition IN. The rest of
the community helpers cutouts I glued them onto toilet paper rolls. Watch the video on how I used it with all the other prepositions to help students become effective speakers.
IDEA 4. If you have pocket charts it is great for
children to complete the task at their own pace. If not, the matching can be
done on a table or the floor. Students will match the things the community helpers use and the place they work.
IDEA 5. Any old file folder can be used to create a game
using the cutouts. I did it by cutting the cutouts in half and gluing one half
onto the file folder. Students have to match the missing half and say the word.
I glued an envelope outside the file folder to keep the matching halves. Watch the video.
IDEA 6.
I love making crowns. Kids always want something to put on their heads. Review
the vocabulary using the crown as they name the community helpers in English, just watch the video.
