Hello, friend! Today, we’re going to learn about communities. A community is a place where people live, work, and play together. Let’s explore some fun things you might see in a community!
Let’s play a game! Look at these pictures: a playground, a police officer, and an octopus. Which ones belong in a community? Yes, the playground and the police officer! An octopus lives in the sea, not in a community. Great job!
Now, let’s look at a bear cave and a library. Which one do you think belongs in a community? That’s right, a library! It’s a place where people go to read books. Well done!
Next, we have a house, a volcano, and a school bus. Which ones belong in a community? You got it! A house and a school bus. People live in houses, and children ride buses to school. Volcanoes are not part of a community. Awesome work!
Do you know what a town is? It’s a smaller place where people live, like a community but not as big as a city. Let’s find out what you might see in a town!

Neighbors are people who live close to each other in a community. Let’s find out who might be neighbors!
Look at the picture of two people waving. They live in the same building, so they are neighbors. Good job!
Now, look at the scuba diver and the people in space. Are they neighbors? No, because people don’t live underwater or in space. But people who live in nearby homes are neighbors. Well done!
Look at the park pictures. One shows a boy riding a bike alone, and the other shows people walking dogs. Which one shows neighbors? Yes, the one with people walking dogs! Neighbors often meet at parks. Great work!
Let’s learn about different homes where people might live. A home is a place where people feel safe and cozy.

Community Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood with an adult. Look for things that are part of your community, like parks, schools, and shops. Can you find a library or a playground? Draw a picture of your favorite place in your community and share why you like it.
Build Your Own Town: Use blocks, toy houses, or recycled materials to create a small town. Include places like a school, a house, and a park. Think about where people might work and play. Once your town is built, tell a story about a day in the life of someone living there.
Neighborly Acts: Think of something kind you can do for a neighbor, like drawing a picture or helping with a small chore. Talk with your family about how neighbors help each other. What are some ways you can be a good neighbor?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

All around the town. Welcome! Do you know what a town is? A town is a place where people live. It is smaller than a city, where you might see lots of people and buildings. A town may have small houses surrounded by grassy fields or farms.
Let’s get started on the worksheet. The directions say to check the box next to things that you might see around a town. First, we see a picture of tall buildings, then there is a picture of farmland. Which of these could you find in a small town? The correct answer is farmland! It is common to see farms in a town setting. Good job!
Let’s look at the next set of pictures. Here we have a cottage and apartment buildings. Do you think that people in small towns live in cottages or apartment buildings? That’s right, they live in cottages or other types of homes. Apartment buildings are usually found in busy areas where lots of people live.
What’s happening in the last two pictures? There is lots of traffic going on in the first picture. We see people in their cars traveling down a busy street. In the second picture, there is one car driving on a small road. Which of these pictures looks like something you would see in a town? Yes, the second picture! A town usually has narrow roads, not large busy streets. Good answer!
Congratulations! You’ve completed the worksheet. Awesome work!
What is a neighbor? Hello! Let’s get started on the worksheet. Neighbors live together in a community. They may live in the same area or very close nearby.
Let’s read the directions: check the pictures that show neighbors living together in a community. Remember that a neighbor is someone who lives nearby in your community. Do you see any neighbors on this worksheet? Yes! Look at the first picture. There are two people waving at one another. It looks like they live in the same apartment building, so they are neighbors. Good job!
Let’s find more neighbors. Look at the scuba diver. There are many sea creatures around him, but this is not a community. People don’t live underwater with fish. What about two people floating in outer space? Are they neighbors? No, people don’t live in outer space. But people do live in homes. These people are neighbors who live in nearby homes.
Now we have two pictures of people at the community park and one picture of a boy riding his bike alone. In the other picture, there are three people walking dogs. Which of these pictures show neighbors? Sometimes neighbors meet at a common place in the community. They may shop at the same stores or, as you can see, play at the same park. The people in this picture are neighbors. Way to go!
Congratulations! You’ve completed the worksheet. Awesome work! See you later!
