Mini Lesson

A town is a busy community — and it takes many different people working together to keep it running every single day!

Who works in a town?

  • A town has many workers, each with a special role — a job they are responsible for doing.
  • Example: A librarian is a community worker whose role is to help people find books at the public library.
  • Every worker's role is important — when one person is missing, the whole town feels it.

Community workers and their roles

  • Coach — teaches a sport and helps kids play.
  • Mayor — leads and manages the whole town.
  • Nurse — looks after people who feel sick or get hurt.
  • Librarian — helps people find and borrow books.
  • Park ranger — keeps the park clean and safe.
  • Baker — bakes fresh bread for the town.

How do they help the community?

  • Each worker helps people in a different way — sports, health, books, cleanliness, or food.
  • Together they create a safe, clean, and welcoming place to live.

Ask yourself: "Which community worker would I like to meet? What is their role? How do they help people?"
