Careers (Tune: "Farmer in the Dell")
The postman brings the mail, (marching)
The postman brings the mail,
Through rain, snow, sleet, and hail,
The postman brings the mail.
The baker bakes the bread, (move hands together as though you are playing with dough)
The baker bakes the bread,
Every day, right out of bed,
The baker bakes the bread.
The barber cuts the hair, (make scissors with fingers)
The barber cuts the hair,
Snips here and there with great care,
The barber cuts the hair.
The librarian reads the books, (make book with hands)
The librarian reads the books,
To children and in reading nooks,
The librarian reads the books.

*I laminated pictures of each job to put on the flannel board while we acted out each part.
Community Helpers (Who am I?):
Stitches and itches, slips and falls,
Colds and flus, I fix them all.
Who am I? a DOCTOR
I get up early, just to bake,
Your cookies, rolls, bread, and cake.
Who am I? a BAKER
I'm there for you both night and day,
So you are safe at school and play.
Who am I? a POLICE OFFICER
If it's stories to read, or a computer you need,
I'll help you find whatever you have in mind.
Who am I? a LIBRARIAN

Job Hat Guessing Game
I played this game with my Preschoolers. I laminated a clipart boy's face and put Velcro on either side of his hair. Then we changed the hats he was wearing. I made him hats for: a clown, construction worker, pirate, chef, police officer, cowboy, king, and firefighter. Needless to say...we had a lot of fun!
