About This Worksheet
Volunteering can start very small: picking up litter, watering plants or helping a friend who falls. The pages show these everyday actions so children can see that they can be helpers too.
Children trace a path for a volunteer picking up trash, match volunteers to their tools, tick helpful actions, colour helping hands, write helping goals for home and school, trace kind words, find volunteer words and count volunteer tools.
