Class 2 EVS My Neighbourhood and Helpers Worksheet
Class 2 EVS · My neighbourhood and community helpers · 56 questions with answers
The topic that moves a child's attention outward from their own house, which is the whole shift between Class 1 EVS and Class 2. The questions here ask who does a job and what they use to do it, rather than just naming people - because the tool is what makes the job memorable at seven.
- Name common community helpers and say what each one does.
- Match a helper to the tool or place they work with.
- Say who to go to for a given everyday problem.

Exercise 5 of 5 · 8 questions
Answer in one line.
Write the answer · Think about it
- 1)Write the name of one helper you saw this week.
- 2)Write one way you can say thank you to a helper.
- 3)Why should we keep our neighbourhood clean?
- 4)Which helper would you like to be when you grow up, and why?
- 5)Name two helpers who work at night.
- 6)Why is every helper's work important?
- 7)Name one helper who works at your school besides the teachers.
- 8)What would happen if nobody cleaned the streets?
Answers
- 1) Answers will differ for every child.
- 2) Answers will differ - saying thank you, not littering, greeting them politely are all correct.
- 3) So that we stay healthy, do not fall ill, and everyone can use the streets comfortably.
- 4) Answers will differ - any helper, with a reason, is correct.
- 5) Answers will differ - a doctor, nurse, police officer, security guard or night bus driver are all correct.
- 6) Because we depend on all of them. If even one stopped, something we need every day would not happen.
- 7) Answers will differ - the sweeper, the ayah, the gardener, the security guard or the cook are all correct.
- 8) Rubbish would pile up, flies and rats would come, and people would fall ill.
While your child works
- Tools make jobs memorable at this age. If a helper is hard to recall, ask what they hold rather than what they do - the answer usually follows.
- Worth being careful with the cleanliness questions: the point is that everyone's work has value, not that some jobs are lesser. Children pick up the framing more than the facts here.
- The last exercise is conversation rather than assessment. A child who noticed a helper this week has understood the topic better than one who can list ten from memory.
