My Project
My Pre-K through 2nd-grade students are naturally curious and love to learn through play!
They enjoy exploring new ideas, working together, and using their imaginations to discover the world around them.
Providing engaging, hands-on games will help them learn about different careers in a fun and meaningful way.
Career exploration starts early, and what better way to introduce young learners to different jobs than through play? With interactive career-themed board games, puzzles, and role-playing activities, students will develop an understanding of various professions while practicing teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
These games will introduce students to careers in science, healthcare, engineering and more, helping them connect their interests to real-world jobs. Whether they’re playing a matching game about community helpers, solving challenges as future engineers, or running their own pretend restaurant, students will have fun while building foundational career awareness!
Play is one of the most effective ways young children learn. By supporting this project, you’ll provide engaging, hands-on activities that make career exploration exciting and developmentally appropriate. Your generosity will help my students dream big and see the many possibilities for their futures.
