Career Awareness Activities for You and Your Child
Home activities can increase your child's career awareness.

Show your child how school skills relate to everyday chores such as:

• paying bills;
• buying groceries;
• sending birthday cards and letters;
• getting appliances repaired;
• shopping for clothing; and
• organizing family activities.

Career Awareness Tip:

Put names of different careers in a bowl.

• Have your child draw a career name each month.
• Ask your child to collect as much information as he or she can about that career during the month.
• Reward your child at the end of the month for collecting the information.
• Discuss the career with him or her.
