Websites for Kids to Explore their Careers

These websites have been so helpful as I work with my students on careers. Hopefully you will find them helpful as well.

CareerSmarts Youtube Playlist of Careers: Thank you School Counseling by Heart! She has compiled several video clips of occupations into one easy playlist for students to explore immediately.

Career View
A great site that helps kids explore their careers based on their interests, subjects they like in school, or the career clusters. After a few simple questions the students are able to see a list of all the jobs that may interest them.

Career One-stop: This is a great site for my older students. It allows them to type in the job they are looking for and provides a lot of information. It gives way more information than my students really need at this stage; however it's an excellent site!

Paws in Pawland
This is a great site for my K-2 students. It has them answer a few basic questions, and then provides view of Pawland with only the career clusters that they would work well in.

7 Habits Bingo

This is a fun game we play in Guidance to review the 7 Habits. I made up scenarios to go along with each habit, read the scenario and the children have to guess which habit it is. They then go to their board and cover that square. It's a great opportunity to see who knows their habits and also discuss the scenarios as we go along.
