Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Understand that jobs change with technology and society's needs, know some new jobs, see why lifelong learning and adaptability matter, and know that robots and AI replace some work but also create new jobs.
What's in the worksheet
6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options each - Jobs disappear because technology and needs change - New jobs from technology: app developers and data analysts - Lifelong learning: keep learning new things all your life - Robots and AI replace some repetitive work and create new jobs - Hardest for machines: creativity and understanding people
How to use it in class
Use in a guidance lesson or the Grade 5 careers unit to get children thinking about the future. 6 minutes. - Play solo, then children ask a parent about a job that existed before but has gone - For question 5, discuss where children have used AI or seen robots at work - If many miss question 1, give examples such as telegram delivery or video rental shops - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.
Common sticking points
- In question 5, choosing they will soon replace every job, from news that AI will take jobs - In question 1, choosing young people don't want to work hard, having heard adults say so - In question 6, choosing calculating lots of numbers, thinking maths is the hardest thing
