About this worksheet

Family is the first group a child belongs to, and belonging is what this page is about. Every question is read out loud and answered by pointing, so a child who cannot read a word can do the whole sheet. The questions are about what families do rather than about who is in them: somebody is cared for, a job at home gets shared out, a routine happens again, a celebration comes around every year. That matters, because households differ. A child may live with one parent, two parents, grandparents, an aunt, foster carers or a mix that changes through the week, and none of those is the version this worksheet treats as normal. The celebration questions are deliberately different from each other for the same reason: one family lights candles, another bakes, another sings, and all three answers are true of somebody. If a page shows something your family does not do, say so warmly and name what you do instead. That conversation is the actual lesson.

What your child will learn

  • Point to the caring action in a family scene
  • Match a job at home to the person who is doing it
  • Recognize a routine as something that happens again and again
  • See that families celebrate in different ways

Worked example

Read aloud: the baby has just fallen asleep, so point to the one thing that would wake him up. The child hears asleep, checks each picture for something noisy, and lands on the drum. A feather, a quilt and a leaf make no sound, so none of them can be the answer.

Common mistake

Deciding who somebody is from how big they look in the picture. The spoken question always says who is who; the picture only shows what they are doing.

Helpful hint

Ask who is being looked after, and what the person is doing for them.
