Hey there! Are you ready to learn about different places where people live? Let’s dive into the world of communities!
A community is a place where people live together. There are three main types of communities: urban, suburban, and rural. Let’s explore each one!
Urban communities are big and have lots of people. Imagine a place with tall buildings, lots of cars, and bright lights. That’s an urban community! New York City is a great example. It’s so busy that people say it never sleeps! Most people live in apartments close to each other because there’s not much space.
Suburban communities, or suburbs, are near cities but not as crowded. Here, you won’t see as many tall buildings or cars. People often drive to work because there aren’t many buses or trains. Suburbs have nice houses with big yards where kids can play. It’s a quieter place compared to the city.
Rural communities are peaceful and have lots of open space. There are not many people or buildings, but you might see farms, animals, and lots of nature. Houses are far apart, and you can enjoy the beauty of trees and fields. It’s a great place if you love the outdoors!
Now it’s your turn! Look around where you live. Do you see tall buildings, big yards, or lots of nature? Think about what type of community you live in!
Thanks for learning with us! We hope you had fun. See you next time!
Community Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt in your neighborhood with a grown-up. Look for things that tell you what type of community you live in. Do you see tall buildings, houses with big yards, or lots of trees and fields? Draw or take pictures of what you find and share them with your class. Discuss how these features help you identify your community type.
Build Your Own Community: Use building blocks, toy cars, and figures to create a model of an urban, suburban, or rural community. Think about what you learned: tall buildings for urban, houses with yards for suburban, and open spaces for rural. Once you’ve built your community, explain to a friend or family member why you chose those features.
Community Observation Journal: Start a journal where you write or draw about different communities you visit or learn about. Each time you go somewhere new, note what makes it urban, suburban, or rural. What do you like about each type of community? Share your journal entries with your classmates and see if they have similar observations.

Welcome to Kids Academy! Let’s get started on the lesson. A community is a place where people live together.
There are many different types of communities. In this lesson, you will learn about three common types: urban, suburban, and rural.
An urban community is large and highly populated, meaning that many people live there. In urban communities, you will see tall buildings or skyscrapers, as well as traffic and transportation. For example, New York City is an urban community, known for its tall buildings and busy atmosphere. It’s often referred to as the “city that never sleeps” because the bright lights stay on all night long. Urban communities can be busy both day and night. Most people live in apartment buildings, although some live in homes. Due to the crowded nature of urban areas, many apartments and homes are located right beside one another.
A suburban community, or suburb, is located near a city and is not as populated as an urban community. There is less traffic and smaller buildings. Some people who live in suburban communities commute to a nearby city for work. For instance, the L train from Chicago travels to and from the city and its surrounding suburbs. There are not many buses and trains in suburban areas, so most people drive to work. Many people live in spacious and beautiful homes in suburban communities, which often have amenities such as large backyards and garages.
A rural community has very few people and buildings, primarily consisting of farmland. You might see lots of animals and natural scenery, such as trees and grassy plains. People live in small houses that are spaced far apart, with some homes located miles away from one another.
Let’s review:
– An urban community is large and highly populated.
– A suburban community is located near a city and is less populated than an urban community.
– A rural community has very few people and buildings, mainly consisting of farmland.
What type of community do you live in? Think about it and look around your community. What do you see?
