Procedures/Activities
 
Begin class by having children name some different jobs. Try to let each child name at least one different job (e.g., teacher, fireman). Then tell the class to think of what a “grown-up’ is. Have some children describe what a “grown-up” is in their own words. Make sure all children understand what a “grown-up” is. After this discussion, tell the students to close their eyes and dream about what they would like to do when they grow up. Tell them to think of at least two jobs. After all the students have thought of jobs, have them draw and color a picture of what they would like to be when they grow up. Save these pictures for the next class period. In the next class period, pass out the cardboard figures and tell the children that they are going to make a mobile. Have the children design their figures according to the pictures they drew on what they want to be when they grow up. When the children have finished, let them share their figure with the class. Then attach figures with string to hangers and hang from ceiling.
