In third grade we played Careers Taboo (you can download the cards here) to introduce the topic of careers! I split the class into 2 teams and had them sit in a line. The student at the front of the line would draw a card and try to describe the career on the card without saying any of the "hush" words. Their team had 30 seconds to guess the name of the career. While they were describing the career, the student at the front of the line on the opposing team would look over their should to make sure they weren't saying any of the off-limit words. Teams were awarded points by guessing correctly in the time limit. If a team was not able to guess the career, the other team had an opportunity to steal. Each team took turns describing and guessing. We had a great time and there were lots of laughs to the difficulty of not saying the hush words!

In 2nd grade we began our talks about the future by reading Someday by Eileen Spinelli. This book is a great springboard into careers because it takes a young girl imagining her future career, then ties it into how what she is doing today is preparing her for each pathway. For example, she is digging in the couch cushions for coins and dreams of being a paleontologist digging for bones. After the story we played "I Have, Who Has" with careers. I downloaded this game from The Career Day Activity Packet from Teachers Pay Teachers. Each class competed to get the fastest time. Then I challenged them to come up with as many careers as they could using an Alphabet Chart. For an extra hint, I played them this video:
