Vocabulary for the search
Recognize the theme vocabulary before scanning the grid. Examples include doctor, teacher, kitchen, workshop, tool, uniform. Follow the activity’s own list; these examples are conversation starters, not an inventory of every sheet.
After the activity
Describe a specific task and ask which jobs might involve it; avoid assigning occupations by gender. Explore tasks and tools associated with different jobs using examples open to anyone.
Use a search method
Find a word’s first letter and check its next letter before following the whole sequence. Mark from the first letter to the last and cross the entry off the list. Words can share letters: finding one does not remove those cells from other searches.
