Guess my occupation: activity

Introduction

This activity is designed to get young students thinking about different occupations and reflecting on what they may want to be when they grow up. They will get an idea of what duties are required to perform featured occupations, and learn how to find career information using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Career Exploration webpage.

Objectives

After completing this activity, students will have a better understanding of these occupations based on the job duties performed for each job. Additionally, teachers will become more familiar with the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) so that they may use it as a career resource in the classroom when students inquire further about these occupations.

Activity

Students will match the worker's occupation with the appropriate job description. On the activity page, write down the letter that corresponds to the appropriate job description under each worker. As a classroom activity, students may use the BLS Career Exploration webpage to read about different careers, discuss what they've learned, and explain what intrigued them most about these careers.

You may use the BLS Career Exploration webpage as a source of career information to help students identify the types of careers that they may be interested in. Students may also learn about the variety of occupations categorized within the various career fields.

Additional resources

In addition to searching on the career exploration webpage, students, teachers, and others can use the BLS Career Resource Guide to learn how BLS can help you explore careers. Students also may use the BLS OOH as a source of career information to help them identify the types of careers they may be interested in.

Have fun playing games while learning about BLS data.

When you were little do you remember doing career activities that told you that you wanted to be a teacher or did you just know? I just knew! I was making and grading worksheets when I still could only write in scribbles. Oh how I loved teaching those attentive stuffed animals and making bulletin boards all over my basement walls!

I didn't even consider the possibility of another career until it was time to get my masters. I felt myself drawn to school counseling, yet I still loved teaching. Well, I got my masters in school counseling and it was such an amazing experience to explore another career! One of my favorite things that I learned during my masters program was about career lessons for elementary students. I had never seen this done before, have you?!

I immediately got so excited at all the possible career activities that I could do with my students. Imagine during a read aloud, you could talk about the jobs of the people in the story. This is such a simple change in your routine read aloud discussions, but has a huge potential for an impactful moment for your students.

FREEBIE For Your Career Activities

During my school counseling internship, I made a career inventory activity to accompany the book, The Magician's Hat. This book is an incredible inspirational story that discusses students choosing a future career possibility based on their likes and interests.

After sharing this book with the class, they completed this career inventory. This is the FREEBIE!! Click the picture above or the button to get the free career activity for elementary students. Students color in the activities they are interested in and then you reveal what types of jobs each category represents.

This is a great way to begin discussion with your class about the types of careers they might want to do when they grow up and what is involved with getting there. It is helpful for students to begin to think about and believe in their potential to reach these goals. I also like to talk to students about which professions require college educations, just to get it in their heads now that they have the ability to do that!

So why talk about careers with primary grades?

promotes goal setting

provides purpose to learning and high achievements in school

encourages confidence in their abilities

expands their thinking about their future

There are so many ways that you can work discussing career activities in with your lesson plans, just put in on your radar! Notice if in a word problem, science lesson, or story if there is a mention of a job that you could expand on or begin a discussion about with your students.

Now I completely know that if I had career activities and lessons in elementary school I still would have ended up being a teacher, but I would have learned a lot about myself and my abilities as well as information about other careers!

If you need ideas for career day at school or your community helpers theme that work great in both classrooms and speech therapy, keep reading!

Your school may have lined up some great speakers and demonstrations and your kids may be over the moon that they get to dress up on Career Day as their favorite occupation. Kids really relate to the topic of careers and community helpers, because they can connect their real-world experiences to it.

So why not build on the fun ahead of time, expand your student's vocabulary, language skills, and knowledge and really help that learning stick! Here are 10 fabulous ideas for career day activities to get you started.

Set the stage for excitement with these ideas for career day at school.

1. Start exploring careers the week before with a few wonderful books!

Since I love combining literacy and learning, my first idea for career day at school is to start with some great books about occupations and community helpers. Whether you find them in your library or on YouTube, these are great choices:

Whose Vehicle is This? Written by Sharon Katz Cooper is great for your younger students. This book shows each vehicle and asks "Whose vehicle is this?" Have your children guess, then read the description. There are also fun facts about the vehicles and what each person who uses that vehicle does. For instance, in the description of a mail carrier, students will learn that mail vehicles have steering wheels on the right instead of the left!

Whose Tools are These? and Whose Hat is This? are two more great books by Shannon Katz Cooper you'll want to check out.

Career Day by Anne Rockwell tells about children in a class who bring their "special guests" (their parents) to their career day. Each guest has something interesting to share about their career, from bulldozer driver, to judge, to crossing guard.

Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do by Kathryn Heling and Deborah Hembrook takes a look at what's hanging on different clotheslines to figure out what job each person does.

Belinda Baloney Changes Her Mind by Becca Carnahan. Belinda finds that the world is full interesting jobs and keeps changing her mind about what she wants to be when she grows up. She worries about that, then learns that that she doesn't need to decide yet...just have fun exploring the possibilities!

Ada Twist, Scientist by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts is a fun book about a girl who has lots and lots of questions... a budding scientist for sure.

Andrea Beaty and David Roberts have many more fun career books like Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer.

What Do You Do With An Idea? by Kobi Amanda is the story of a boy with a big idea. Was it too strange and weird? Should he abandon it? No, because it's good to see things differently... and you might even... change the world! A wonderful book to encourage young thinkers, future inventors and entrepreneurs!

2. Guess Who? Grab Bag

Fill a bag with descriptions of community helpers and careers. Students reach in and read the description and try to guess who it is. For younger children who are not readers, you may want to use pictures of their vehicles, clothes, or tools. (If you need pictures, check out my Pronouns and Plurals, Dress me Community Helpers activity below.)

3. Make a Paper Bag Village with Community Helpers

I love this idea for career day from In The Bag Kids Crafts. Provide brown paper bags, crayons or markers, scissors, and construction paper. Have each child choose a different community helper and create a "shop" or place of work. Have your children tell all about what's in their shop or business, and what people do there.

4. Twenty Questions

Put a picture or list a career on each card. For large groups, pin a card with a clothespin to the back of each child's shirt (or play with cards in headbands for smaller groups). Have the group walk around and take turns asking each other questions to try and figure out what their career is. You may want to set a 5 or 10-minute time limit. Provide a list of sample questions for younger children such as:

Do I use a vehicle to do my job?

Do I work with animals?

Can my job be dangerous?

Do I wear special clothes for my job?

This is such a fun idea for career day at school (or week)! Some students may need support in asking questions, so I've made cards for you with sample questions they can ask while playing this game. Download them here: 20 Questions Career Day Game Cards.

If you'd like to save yourself time with ready-made picture cards, scroll down. The cards in either of my career and community helpers resources below would work great!!

5. Play Three to One Thumbs

For older children, have them choose an occupation and tell 3 reasons why the job may be great (Thumbs up!), and one reason that it might be challenging (Thumbs down).

6. Compare/Contrast

Have older children choose two occupation cards from a bag or bowl and list ways the occupations are similar and ways they're different. The similarities may be trickier and your kids may need a little help with it to think outside the box. For instance, how are a pilot and a veterinarian alike? They both require a lot of training!

For younger children, try cards with the vehicles, and compare/contrast the vehicles such as bulldozers, police cars, airplanes, or firetrucks.

My Pronouns and Plurals, Dress me Community Helpers pack (check it out below) has cards perfect for this activity

7. Job interview.

Have kids pretend to interview for a job. Talk about what to do and what not to do. This is a great social skills lesson too!

8. Career Taboo Game

I love this idea for Career Day from Miss Sepp's Counselor Corner. Students are divided into 2 teams, which take turns drawing a card that contains a career and two "hush" words. The student who drew the card must describe the career to his/her teammates so they can guess the occupation... but without using the "hush" words! For instance, for "Florist" the hush words are "flowers" and "arrange." The post includes a file to download the Career Taboo cards. Fun for upper elementary!

Many of these activities are great for your Community Helpers theme too!

If you need more hands-on activities for your preschoolers and kindergarteners, my Pronouns and Plurals, Dress me Community Helpers activity will get your littles excited to participate!

Put the cutout "helpers, clothes, and equipment out on a cookie sheet. Your littles get to dress the people as different helpers as you practice pronouns, naming the helpers and their equipment, and more. I've included cards for games and plenty of printables to practice a variety of syntax targets with your community helpers theme.

There's a diverse selection of 8 different people children can choose from, helping them find someone who looks like them!

Pronoun, plurals, and WH questions mats and worksheets are included to give you tons of versatility in targeting syntax, wh questions, sentence structure, and community helpers vocabulary.

I hope these Career Day ideas for elementary school get you excited about planning for this theme!

Career day and community helpers are one of the highlights of the year for many kids. I hope you love it too. I also know planning for this theme can be time-intensive, so if you need a fantastic, versatile activity that's print-and-go or even digital, Career Bingo Riddles is your winner.

Like all my best-selling Bingo Riddles games, Career Bingo Riddles has rhyming clues, which make the game seriously fun! Kids listen to the clues, then guess who the community helper is. It's a perfect idea for career day from kindergarten through 5th, and it's easy to level the game for different learners.

With 30 different boards, you can use it with an entire class, put it in a center, or play it in speech therapy. I've included a digital version to play with Google Slides™ that's terrific for virtual instruction and teletherapy. Check it out!

If you're a Bingo Riddles fan, you can find many more seasonal and holiday Bingo Riddles games in my shop. (Bingo Riddles are kinda like potato chips. You can't stop at just one!)

Happy career day everyone!

Inside: The story behind Belinda Baloney Changes Her Mind and a read-aloud with the author, Becca Carnahan.
What did you want to be when you grew up when you were a kid?
Am I right that it wasn't just one thing? Of course! You were a kid and kids' imaginations are amazing! I wanted to be an artist, a food decorator, a WNBA star, a store owner, a grocery clerk, and a gym teacher, and that's just the half of it.

But somewhere along the way we start thinking that we need to pick one job, one career, one path.
Is that the true though? Do we really need to have it all figured out, or can we learn, grow, and change throughout our lives?
I strongly believe it's the latter and that's the whole message of my new children's book, Belinda Baloney Changes Her Mind.

Who is Belinda Baloney?

Belinda Baloney Changes Her Mind, written by Becca Carnahan (that's me!) and illustrated by Sarah Horan, is a story about a young girl trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up. She has lots of big dreams, but can't seem to pick just one.

An engineer, the President, a knitter of coats? A firefighter, a farmer, a sailor of boats! When Belinda starts to get worried that she doesn't know how to pick just one job, her brother helps her learn an important lesson. Growing and learning can take a lifetime, and Belinda Baloney can change her mind!

This rhyming book filled with fun illustrations is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school-aged children. Kids will love exploring along with Belinda and be inspired to dream big dreams of their own.

Why Belinda Baloney?

As you'll hear in the video below, Belinda Baloney's name came from a silly story I was making up for my kids. The name popped up out of nowhere and it stuck!

The reason the character ended up in another story, this story, about trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up is because I'm a mom, a career coach, and a firm believer that the real question is "What do you want to be when you grow up NEXT?" It's a big wide world out there and why do we need to limit ourselves to just one dream?

When parents have shared Belinda Changes Changes Her Mind with their kids I keep hearing the common refrain - "I needed to hear this as an adult too!" It's never too late to change course in your life and explore new interests and learn new things, and that is so beautiful and inspiring!

Introducing the Team

If you've followed along on the blog then you already know me. But you may not know my sister-in-law, Sarah Horan, the talented artist who brought Belinda Baloney to life. Sarah is an occupational therapist living in Colorado. Like Belinda, Sarah's career plans changed a lot throughout her life, but drawing and painting have always been a constant. I'm so lucky to have her in my life and watch her dream of illustrating a children's book come true.

Another a big player in the production of Belinda Baloney was Katelyn Lizardi. Katelyn is an amazing graphic designer and she added the color to the images Sarah drew with pencil and paper. This was a skill Sarah and I tried our hand at, but we definitely needed to bring in the pros! Check out Katelyn's website for prints, cards, and web design.

And for anyone considering writing a children's book of their own, there are lots of ways you can go - traditional publishing, self-publishing, or somewhere in between. Our publisher Gatekeeper Press has been incredible and I can't recommend them more highly.

Storytime!

Ready to hear Belinda Baloney Changes Her Mind?

Let's dive right into the read aloud!

I hope you enjoyed meeting Belinda and Benji! (Benji doesn't get enough credit for giving such great advice. You'll get your own book someday, buddy.)

If you want to bring Belinda home, find her at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and Bookshop!

Sometimes a topic such as science careers can be a bit dry. And, often times you aren't exactly sure how to "spruce it up" so students are engaged. Today, I have 20 science career project and activity ideas that I think would help you when it comes to planning! Choosing one (or more) of these ideas will definitely help make things easier when it comes to this topic!

Science Career Activity Ideas

I'm going to first start with the quick and simple activities. Sometimes we just don't have a ton of time to dedicate to a big project. If you're one of those teachers, then this is the section for you!

(This post assumes that you have taught students about science careers in some form, either through researching them or through the use of text. If you don't have access to information on science careers, you can purchase my reading pieces on TpT here or my personal store here.)

1.) Have students discuss or debate on which career is the best. Make sure they justify why. It's super important that their reasoning is more than just "I like it more." This helps them practice using evidence to support their answer, a common core requirement.

2.) Create a comparison chart on butcher paper - either one for each group or as a whole class and discuss the various characteristics of each career. You could compare the education they need, the pay they earn on average, the tools they typically use, and their job description for instance.

3.) Have students participate in a snowball fight . On a piece of paper have students write down either the career description or the career name. Then they crumble up the paper into a snowball and toss it. Each student picks up a snowball near them and reads what is written inside. Then going around the room, have students read what they have and determine which career it is or describe the career.

4.) Have students create a resume for the career. They may have to make a few things up or be a bit creative, but as long as it aligns with the science career itself, it's okay. This also provides them with the practice of seeing a resume and using one. You may need to model it first or show an example.

5.) Play games related to careers. Create questions that you can place around the room related to each science career you're studying. Then students move around and answer them. You can use a gallery format or a scoot version. If preferred, you could put the names of careers on the walls and have students move to the name of the career when you name off a characteristic. (Similar to 4 corners).

Science Career Project Ideas

These project ideas do not have to be over the top. Instead, they could just simply require students to research one particular career and then present it in a unique way.

6.) Create a poster. Alright, so maybe creating a poster isn't the most unique way, but if it's a movie poster it is. Have students image that they are going to create a new movie centered around the life of this science career! Now they need to create a movie poster that is going to really excite people to come to see it! That puts a whole different spin on it. (Of course remind them there are still things they need to include, such as the characteristics of this science career.)

7.) Have students create a picture book that explains the career to little children. Sometimes when you have to teach others of a smaller age/group, it really helps you understand.

8.) Have a career day. Have your students dress up as their science career. Then have them either come to class as that scientist explaining their career on career day.

9.) Have your budding scientists create a song about his or her career. This doesn't have to be anything fancy. They just need to include the important characteristics. They can do it to the tune of "jingle bells" or something. Even a rap is fine.

10.) "Creating a difference in the world" Nobel Peace Prize . Have students create a fake award or trophy for their scientist for creating a difference in the world. Have them decide how they earned it (based on what they do in their career). If desired, have them include the acceptance speech of the scientist that includes the characteristics of the science career.

11.) Bring a little math into the equation! Have students take a survey and then graph the results. As long as it's related to the career somehow, it's all golden. It can be the number of people in each career in the U.S., the pay for each career, men vs women for a career, surveying the class of their favorite careers, etc.

12.) Have students create a flipbook with all the important characteristics. Quick and easy!

13.) Have students create a game around the exciting life of their science career. Make it even more engaging and have them create an imaginary video game!

14.) Have students create a magazine cover, a fakebook, or instasnaps, such as those found in my Exit Tickets full pages. They have to get creative and imagine the role of the scientist. You can go really big and have your students create a FULL magazine with articles and everything.

15.) Have students create a science career interview. Students imagine that they are sitting right next to a scientist in that career and interview them. Pair students up and have them actually "perform" this in front of the class.

16.) Create trading cards. Have students draw the scientist on the front and on the back describe the characteristics of the career. Then you can use these for sorts, playing games, or just studying tools. These trading cards are part of my science careers resource that you can find on TpT or in my personal store.

17.) Pretend there is a shortage on their scientist. Have students create an advertisement to persuade people to enter that career path. (Or create a "draft" for people to join, like in the Army.)

18.) Provide a fashion show . Have students walk on the runway showing off their tools. Remind the students they have to find a way to incorporate all the characteristics in their walk. This may mean they somehow hand out "fake" dollars to the audience with the amount they make on it, have an announce describe what they do as they walk and carry their tools, etc.

19.) Create a stand-up timeline. Have students create a new "page" for each characteristic. Make sure it's colorful.

20.) Have students create a mobile and use symbols to represent parts of the career. Then on those symbols include the important characteristics and information.

Whew! That was a long list!

Hopefully, there is something here that you can find useful the next time you are teaching about science careers in your classroom. If you don't teach about science careers, I strongly encourage you to, as it really helps students relate to the real-world application piece and it also encourages students to take a career in science.

You can purchase my science careers resource package, complete with the reading pieces, trading cards, and a few other activities on TpT here and in my personal store here.
