Before you play
Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Sort specialist skills versus skills for every job, productive debt versus consumer debt, electrical versus woodwork tools, and habits that protect data versus habits that put it at risk.
What's in the worksheet
4 rounds, a sorting game with 4 items each - Surgery and programming are specialist skills; communication and teamwork suit every job - Borrowing to study or start a business is productive; borrowing for a new phone or a holiday is consumer debt - Mains tester and wire strippers are electrical tools; saw and hammer are woodwork tools - Regular backups and hard-to-guess passwords protect data; one password everywhere is risky
How to use it in class
Use for mid-term review, 6-8 minutes; it mixes careers, money, workshop tools and data. - Play in teams; for round 2, each team proposes another kind of debt for another team to sort - For round 3, show real tools, stressing that a mains tester is used only with an adult - If many miss round 2, ask "Can the borrowed money bring income back?" - Item 3 is a mains tester. A teacher may explain it from a picture, but children must not handle it, test it, or touch real wiring. They should tell an adult about electrical problems - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.
Common sticking points
- In round 3, not knowing the mains tester and putting it under woodwork because of the word ไขควง (screwdriver); explain it lights up when it touches a live wire - In round 2, putting a new phone under productive because phones can be used for study - In round 1, putting programming under every job, having heard that everyone should learn to code
