Warm-up: guess from the tools
Show the character’s tools (hose, stethoscope, frying pan) and let children guess the job.
Activity 1: color and talk
While coloring, ask “What would this person wear?” and “What do they need?” The color reference shows uniform and tool colors.
Activity 2: role-play
Stick colored pages on sticks as puppets, or set up hospital, fire station and restaurant corners.
Activity 3: draw my future job
After coloring, children draw their own dream job on blank paper and say it in one sentence.
Wrap-up: our neighborhood job map
Talk about people who work nearby and post the colored pages on a “neighborhood job map”.
How the pages are organized
Job characters are grouped as care and safety, science and exploration, food and cafe, arts and stage, making and nature, so you can match them to a lesson theme.
