Learn the idea
Work can create a physical product or provide a service. In these examples a grower raises food, a baker makes bread, a builder constructs buildings and a bus driver transports people. Real workers may do several tasks; match only the task named.
Grower: a worker who raises crops. Baker: a worker who makes bread or similar baked food. Builder: a worker who constructs structures. Bus driver: a worker who operates a bus to transport people.
Look at the worker’s task: growing food, baking bread, building or driving a bus. Ask an adult to read the notes and cards aloud. Point, draw or say your answer.
- Ask an adult to read the four notes. Find the words Grower, Baker, Builder, Bus driver.
- Look at the worker’s task: growing food, baking bread, building or driving a bus.
- Read the worked answer. Then try the other cards and explain which words helped you choose.
- Point to, draw or say two different examples: one for Grower and one for Baker. Explain how their clues differ.
