Lesson Plan
Santa’s Big Job Adventure
Use the story How Santa Got His Job to introduce community helpers and the job application process, engaging Pre-K students in identifying roles, sequencing steps, and creating a pretend job application.
Early exposure to community helpers builds social awareness, vocabulary, and sequencing skills. Pretend play with job applications fosters imagination and confidence as students connect story steps to real-world roles.
