Lesson Plan
Facilitator Guide: Mystery Tools
Students will discover and name at least five community helper jobs, match three key tools to the correct helper, share one home responsibility and preferred task, and identify one job they’re curious about.
This lesson builds vocabulary around community roles, connects school learning to students’ home responsibilities, and fosters self-awareness of interests—all foundational for social development and community understanding.
