Take pictures of local businesses to display in your classroom. If possible you might place pictures together that are on the same side of the street or in the same part of town. Under each picture, place a card telling some of the items that are sold in the business. Let the students come up with the list.
Make Sure that the students know the difference from a good(which can usually be purchased and then carried home) and a service(something that someone is going to do for someone else). It might be a good suggestion to make a list of goods provided in the town or community and the services that can be provided.
To continue this activity from the previous indicators, help the child locate various businesses on the town or neighborhood map that was previously made in the class. you might make a smaller version of the map to send home for parents to work with the student.
