Using this Community Helpers domino game in conjunction with the Trashy Town book helps young learners to expand on literary experiences and make further connections to what they’ve seen in the book as well as in real life.
Additionally, this activity works on the important skill of matching like images in a fun way and taking turns.
About Trashy Town for Young Readers
Trashy Town, by Andrea Zimmerman, gives readers a lighthearted view of a day of trash collecting by Mr. Gilly, the local sanitation worker.
He picks up trash from the school, the park, the fire station and more.
His goal is to fill up his truck as much as he can. But when his day is done, there’s one more thing that needs to be cleaned…. Mr. Gilly himself!
Why not do some firefighter crafts and activities for preschoolers once you finish playing this game.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE Key Workers Printable Dominoes
- Print out the Community Helpers Domino. (It is suggested to print in “high quality” to allow the colors to print vibrant.)
- Print on cardstock or laminate domino cards to ensure durability, if desired. This is recommended if the activity is going to be used more than once or in a classroom with multiple children. You may wish to print out more than one set of cards.
- Cut out the community helper domino pieces. You can store pieces in a plastic zip bag to keep everything together.
- Set up an invitation to learn at a learning station by placing the Community Helpers Domino activity on the table. You may want to stage a few sample pieces that are connected to their match.
HOW TO PLAY THE COMMUNITY HELPERS DOMINO ACTIVITY
Each child is given 5 Community Helper domino pieces.
A random piece is drawn and placed in the middle as the starter.
Children will then take turns placing their pieces next to an appropriate match.
If they don’t have a playable piece, they draw from the extra stack of pieces.
Continue playing until the first player runs out of tiles.
