Occupations

Very easy and simple game.
In pairs roll a die and move a token (eraser) the correct number of spaces. Following the picture on the space, say the target sentence "I want to be a ___"
If space as a chute\slide, slide down. If there is a ladder, climb up.

INTRODUCTION

Review the various jobs. They will be covered in the next lesson if you follow the stated order of the book. Discuss what job each professional does.

ACTIVITY

Demonstrate the activity using two students for an example.

After teaching occupation vocabulary, "What do you want to be?" and, "I want to be a ~ ."

I made this for the 6th lesson in Eigo Note 2, but you could use it for review with older kids.

Tell them you're going to call your friends in [home country] through the internet at the end of class. Get them worked up.

Printable Occupation themed karuta cards to teach Occupation vocabulary.

Introduce new vocabulary then have students play any card game. Eg. karuta, catch game, etc.

I made these cards for a nakayoshi class, but they could work as a fun little warm up game for ES or JHS to review common jobs/occupations.

A fun, all class activity in which volunteers attempt to guess the gestures the rest of the class are performing.
