Community Helper Printable Activity for Preschoolers About Police Officers
Most children are probably familiar with police officers, but how much do they know about these important community helpers?
It is important that we make sure children understand these community helpers are very important because they are who we call or ask for in the event of an emergency. Children need to know how to communicate with the police and that trusting them is important in situations where it could save a life.
One great idea is to arrange for a police officer come to visit your preschool, childcare facility, or elementary school so that children can meet and listen to one. Most local police departments offer this community service and they come ready to discuss basic safety issues with young children. You might even be able to make arrangements to have a police dog visit--those are also great community helpers and kids love animals!
These printables are helpful for doing activities that help children learn about the role of police officers and how they help prevent crime
