Learn the idea
Families can include different people and live in different homes. A family is not defined by one size or one set of jobs. Children need care, and people can share that work. Our fictional examples are possibilities, not rules for every family.
Care: helping someone meet a need. Play: doing an enjoyable activity. Rest: giving the body a break. Learning: practicing or finding out something.
Look for what the person does: helps someone, plays, rests or learns. 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 Care, Play, Rest, Learning.
- Look for what the person does: helps someone, plays, rests or learns.
- 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 Care and one for Play. Explain how their clues differ.
