Materials: Chart/butcher paper to record on. Time: 20 minutes Goals: Students will understand… -difference between working roles and playing roles in our families. -what kinds of roles they may play in their family. Describe Lesson Steps/Leading Statements: I make a thinking map called a “tree map”. It is a graphic organizer used for sorting things. With the title of **Families** at the top, underneath would be two categories of **Work** and **Play.** Ask for ideas to complete lists on both sides. As each idea is put forward, ask the contributor if it their idea would go on the **Work** or **Play** side.
 * “We have been talking a lot about different groups that we all belong to. One of those very important groups is our families at home. Today we are going look at two special ways that families spend time together…when they work and when they play.”**

They will find that many jobs that families do together may be considered play because it is fun spending time together. Once the list is complete…close by having a conversation about what sorts of jobs on the Famlies chart may apply in our classroom.
 * “Molly said ‘cooking’. Would that go on work or play side? Oh…Thomas thinks it’s work, but Sammy thinks it’s play. Do you think a job can be listed on both sides?”**


 * “I think that we will find several jobs we do together as kindergartners that will be both work and fun. We can learn together, work hard, and still have a wonderful time.”**

Assessment(s): School Work vs School Play: Teacher Notes
 * ”We have learned several ways that families work and play together. Today we will look at ways that friends at school, in our SCHOOL FAMILY, work and play together.”**
 * “Everyone get out a red crayon and a blue crayon. Hold your red crayon up high in the sky. Now look for all the pictures that show friends WORKING together. Put a red circle around the working pictures.”**
 * “Hold your blue crayon up high in the sky. Now look for all the pictures that show friends PLAYING together. Put a blue circle around the pictures that show playing.”**
