Gather several familiar items that can be easily related to specific tasks, people or occupations: a toy stethoscope, a whisk, a computer keyboard, a flashlight, a hammer or a toothbrush. Show the children the items one at a time and ask, “Who uses this?” The children will have various responses depending on their background and experience. For example, when shown the whisk, some children might say, ”Mommy uses that in the kitchen.” Others might respond, “That's what they use on TV when they cook.”
