ABSTRACT

Participants get paper and coloured markers and have a few minutes to draw a picture of the first job they ever had. Have a pile of thin card or flipchart paper ready to distribute. Have coloured markers set out on the tables or ready in small containers to be passed around. Have participants post their papers on the wall or hang them from the tables in front of their name cards. Instead of individual pictures, have the group do a wall mural illustrating all of their first jobs. Divide the class into three or four small groups and let each group choose a first job from among its group members and do a pantomime of that job. Have a bulletin board on the induction website and ask each participant to post a short paragraph about their first jobs, then have them read the various paragraphs and vote for the funniest, the most unusual, and so forth.
