Materials Needed: 1. Pictures or props representing each career 2. Large chart paper or whiteboard 3. Markers 4. Storybooks related to different careers 5. Costumes or dress-up items for role-playing
Lesson Plan:
Introduction: 1. Gather the students in a circle and ask them if they know what a career is. Explain that a career is a job or profession that people choose to do to earn a living. 2. Show them pictures or props representing different careers and ask if they can identify any of them. Briefly discuss what they think each person does in their job.
Activity 1: Career Chart 1. Display a large chart paper or whiteboard and divide it into 20 sections. 2. Write the name of each career at the top of each section. 3. Show the pictures or props again and ask the students to match them with the corresponding career on the chart. 4. Discuss each career briefly, explaining what the person does and how they contribute to society. 5. Encourage students to ask questions or share any experiences they may have had with people in these careers.
Activity 2: Storytime 1. Read aloud storybooks related to different careers, such as “Doctor Ted” by Andrea Beaty, “Firefighter Ted” by Andrea Beaty, “The Little Veterinarian” by Jane Bingham, etc. 2. Pause after each story to discuss the main character’s job, their responsibilities, and why their work is important. 3. Encourage students to share their thoughts and ask questions about the careers they learn about.
Activity 3: Role-Playing 1. Set up a dress-up corner with costumes or dress-up items related to different careers. 2. Divide the students into small groups and assign each group a career to role-play. 3. Allow the students to dress up and act out scenarios related to their assigned career. 4. After each group’s performance, ask the other students to guess the career being portrayed and discuss the responsibilities of that profession.
Conclusion: 1. Gather the students back in a circle and review the 20 careers they learned about. 2. Ask each student to share which career they found most interesting and why. 3. Emphasize that they can be anything they want to be when they grow up and encourage them to explore their interests and passions.
