Sequencing Activity: How to Get a Job (And Keep It)
CHECK OUT THIS CAREER EXPLORATION INSTANT ACTIVITY!
The “How to Get a Job (& Keep It)” sequencing activity is the perfect classroom engagement to add to your health curriuclum or career exploration lesson plan! As students organize the cards, they deepen and build a better understanding of what habits they need to be good at their job.
How the Sequencing Activity Works
After printing, cutting out, and organizing (I like to put them in ziplock bags) sets of the cards, here’s how to use this instant activity in your classroom:
Ask students to get into groups of 2-3 (I tend to let kids choose their own groups, I find that they work better).
Direct students to organize the cards in the correct order you need to follow to get and keep a job.
Debrief as a class.
Discussion Prompts
Here are a few prompts students can discuss after the activity:
How do the steps on the card connect to your daily habits/choices?
How do these steps compare to the jobs you’ve worked?
How can school help you be a strong worker?
I’d love to hear how you’d connect this classroom engagement to your health curriculum.
