This is a career and job activity I do with 3rd through 5th graders.

Objective: To help students to identify what roles different jobs and careers have and what is required to perform those jobs and careers

Materials: Papers with jobs and careers written on them

Activity: Prior to this activity, write different jobs and careers onto pieces of paper.

Hold up the job and career cards, one by one. Allow students to volunteer different information about each job and career, such as: *What duties are involved with that job or career? *What type of education is required for that job or career? *Would any students enjoy that type of job or career? *What would they enjoy doing in that specific job or career?
