Elementary Activity

My Occupation Coloring BookThis activity let’s your children use imagination and creativity to increase self-awareness

and knowledge of the world of work. They will learn to identify some personal

characteristics, interests, and preferences as well as identify some common

characteristics of occupations.

1.  Create a coloring book of occupations. When a page is finished, talk with your

child about the occupation in the picture. You might ask some of these questions

to get the conversation going:

•  Does this person work alone or in a group? Which would you prefer?

•  Does this person work inside or outside? Which would you prefer?

•  Does this person work during the day or during the night? Which would you

prefer?

•  Does this person wear a uniform? Would you like to wear a uniform?

• Does this person have to convince people to change their minds or theirbehavior or get people to buy something? Would you like to sell things or

influence others?

•  Does this person travel or stay close to home? Which would you prefer?

•  Does this person work with his or her hands? Would you like to work with

your hands?

•  Does this person give directions or follow directions? Which would you

prefer?

•  Does this person use math? What kind of reading and writing does he or she

do?

•  What other kinds of workers does this person work with?

2.  Your child might add pictures by drawing his or her own people or by finding clip

art or pictures online or in other coloring books.

3.  Once your child has colored most of the pictures, talk about them in comparison

to one another.

•  Which is your favorite picture? Why?
