Community Needs and Wants
A community is a group of people who live, learn or work near one another. A need is something important for people to be safe and healthy. A want is something people would enjoy, but can live without. Read each mini-story and show what you think.
Spot the Need
Choose the best answer for each community moment.
1.The drinking fountain at the park is broken on a hot day. What should the community fix first?
- The drinking fountain, so people can get water
- The park’s toy shop
- A music speaker for the garden
2.Which is a want rather than a need?
- A safe road crossing
- A new playground slide shaped like a rocket
- Clean water
3.Amira sees a cracked footpath where people walk to the shops. Is repairing it mainly a need or a want?
- Need, because a safe path helps people get around
- Want, because paths are only for fun
4.A community has a library with books and a computer people can use. What can the library help people do?
Make a Helpful Choice
Think about what helps many people in a community.
5.Jai’s community can fix one thing today: a broken crossing light or add colourful flags to the library. Which should come first, and why?
6.Sort these into needs and wants: clean water, ice cream, safe footpath, a new video game. Write two under each heading.
7.A community garden has vegetables, but its gate is broken and animals can get in. What is one useful thing people could make or fix to help?
8. Draw a simple design that could meet a community need. Add a label to show what it helps people do.
