Guess My Job
Overview
Our Guess My Job sessions are short, interactive video activities designed to spark curiosity and engagement around different careers. In each session, a real professional answers quick-fire questions about their job, without revealing what it is until the end.
Students listen for clues, discuss their ideas in small groups, and try to guess the role before the big reveal. These sessions make career exploration fun, fast-paced, and perfect for tutor time, assemblies, or drop-down days.
How To Use This Resource
To run a Guess My Job session, simply play the video and let it guide the activity. Each one includes built-in 30-second timers after every question, giving students time to discuss and make their guesses. They can jot their ideas on scrap paper or use the accompanying Guess Who-style activity sheet to record their answers as the clues unfold.
Encourage students to listen carefully for hints about skills, environments, and qualifications before making their final guess. Once the job is revealed, take a moment to discuss what surprised them and what they learned about the role. These sessions fit perfectly into tutor time, careers lessons, or assemblies—with no prep needed.
Lets of our subscribers use one of these per week in tutor time, making Guess My Job a consistent, and fun part of their careers provision.
