Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Sort everyday jobs and things into groups: jobs a child can do versus jobs for an adult, kitchen things versus cleaning things, rubbish versus things that can be reused, and occupations that make goods versus those that provide a service. This builds the basis for helping yourself safely.
What's in the worksheet
4 rounds, a sorting game with 4 items per round, each dragged into one of two groups - Putting toys away and watering the plants go under a child can do it; using the gas stove and a large knife need an adult - Plate and spoon are kitchen things; broom and floor cloth are cleaning things - A plastic bottle and paper used on one side can be reused - Rice farmer and baker make goods; teacher and doctor provide a service
How to use it in class
Use at the start of a lesson on helping yourself and jobs at home. Allow about 5-8 minutes. - Play as a whole class on the projector; children put up a hand to say which group an item belongs to before it is dragged - In round 4, ask children what jobs people at home do, then decide together whether each makes goods or gives a service - If many get it wrong, ask "When this person works, is there something you can hold at the end?" - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.
Common sticking points
- In round 4, putting the teacher under makes goods because teachers make worksheets; point out that a teacher's main work is teaching, which is a service - In round 3, putting food scraps under can be reused because some families feed them to animals or compost them; accept the reasoning, then explain that the game means using the same thing again - In round 1, calling watering the plants an adult job because the child is never asked to do it at home
