Guess My Job How to play the game: The game is based on the ‘classic’ Kids T.V show ‘Runaround’! (You will need plenty of floor space for this activity) Begin the activity by asking the students to name different jobs people do in a supermarket Display on a wall (one beside the other) pre-prepared job titles (signs) printed on A4 sheets - these will include ‘Butcher’, ‘Baker’, ‘Greengrocer’, ‘Florist’ - you may add one or two others. Have the students stand in the middle of the room and look at the wall opposite the ‘signs’ - this is the wall you should project the presentation on to. Explain the rules of the game: When a clue is given, the students should decide who this job belongs to (they should try to do this on their own). When they decide, you will call out “Runaround’ at which point the students ‘run’ and stand in a line in front of the job they think is right. You should discuss after each clue why they think they are in the right place They should turn around to view the next clue and after you call “Runaround” they can change their position Repeat

Job 1 I usually wear a white coat and hat. I have to get up very early in the morning. It is very warm where I work. I have to mix different ingredients together in my job.

Job 4 I sometimes wear a coat or an apron to keep my clothes clean. The things I work with are different shapes and colours. You may have to weigh some of the things I work with. The things I work with are very good for you. (You should eat five of them a day.)
