About this resource

What's inside this resource

My Community Vocabulary Icons Set 2 is a teaching resource that builds vocabulary skills. This set includes circle icons featuring common community vocabulary words on one side and matching visuals on the other. Educators can use these versatile icons during whole group or small group lessons focused on expanding students' knowledge of community helpers and places. The simple yet engaging images allow students to make connections between the vocabulary terms and real-world concepts. Whether printed for hands-on activities or inserted into presentations, the icons stimulate discussion about the roles of different community members. From police officers to grocery stores, this vocabulary set builds language arts skills for Kindergarten through 3rd grade. The vocabulary boost helps learners better understand key fixtures of their own neighborhoods and communities.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Each theme is a separate image, so print or place only the group a lesson needs rather than the whole set

  • Occupations runs across three sheets - open all three before building a matching or sorting set so the same picture is not used twice

  • Standalone images sit easily in slides, labels or printed cards, which lets one purchase carry both a display and a table task

  • The town picture works as the shared backdrop the themed groups are discussed against, since it is the only image in the set that is not a themed icon sheet

Skills covered

  • Community vocabulary building - themed icon sheets for family, occupations, pets, school supplies and toys supply a picture bank for naming everyday people and objects.

  • Sorting by category - the set arrives pre-grouped into six themes, so the same pictures support category and matching work as well as single-word naming.

  • Talking about places in a town - a separate image covering buildings, places and locations gives a shared scene to work from alongside the themed groups.
