Ask students to take this worksheet home and fill in family needs with the help of a parent. We all belong to many groups. You belong to the groups below. Draw a picture of each group, including everyone who is a part of the group. Then count how many people are in each group.
Groups have different needs.
Write down some of the things your class needs. Then write down your family and community needs. Students will understand that filling in the census form helps the government plan for the country's needs. Introduce the concept of different kinds of plans. Draw an analogy between a plan a family member might make to prepare a meal and one a teacher makes to prepare for class.
