A step-by-step guide to play the game

Hide all the professions with the sliding doors or with post-its.

Divide the players in two teams and organise a quiz.

Show the players a specific object/tool.

The players make a drawing or write down the profession that is related to the material. Check their answers by lifting the doors and note down if a team has a correct answer.

Repeat with the other objects/ tools.

The group with the most correct answers, wins the game.

Extra game information

The panel is divided into a red part and a green part. This activity only uses the red part. This part is more difficult. In every window you can see a picture of an object or a tool that is related to a specific profession.

Variations

You can also play this game with only one player. The player writes down the name of the profession on the blackboard and checks his answer by opening the red door.
Start a discussion about the professions. Suggested questions: Is the material a need or a want for the profession? Is it a capital or an operational cost? Which talent do you need for this profession?

Specific learning objectives

Enhance knowledge of different materials that are used to practise a certain profession.
