Contributing to Communities
People contribute to a community when they take actions that help others or improve shared places. Contributions can be large or small: including someone in a game, caring for a local park, or joining a group effort. Listening respectfully and acting safely are important, too.
Recognising contributions
1.Which statement best explains what it means to contribute to a community?
- Doing something that supports people or improves a shared place
- Helping only people who are close friends
- Taking part only when there is a prize
- Leaving all community tasks to adults
Think about the impact
For each action, select the response that best describes its effect on other people and shared spaces.
