How to work with the material?
Our selection of cards is designed to develop children's speech and thinking, familiarize them with the world around them and form initial ideas about professions.
The manual can be used for classes with children from two and a half years old, but it can and should be taught at both 4 and 5 years old. It’s just that activities with a child at different ages are structured differently. So, for a child of two and a half years old it is enough if he knows the name of the profession and can name most of the objects shown in the picture. We already expect from a three-year-old child that he not only knows the names of objects of labor, but can also tell in what profession these objects are used. At 4 years old, a child understands the purpose of most tools and can talk about what a person does in a particular profession.
You can download free pictures of various professions for children. They are suitable for thematic classes, both at home and in early development clubs, in junior schools.
Your child will get to know such professions as: secretary, carpenter, cook, reporter, tour guide, policeman, director, welder, courier, nun, psychic, inspector, dentist, pharmacist, drummer, driver, artist, stylist, district police officer, waiter, nurse, flight attendant, bellhop, pilot, architect, nanny, doctor, singer, guide, cashier, musician, ceramic artist, fireman, hairdresser, photographer, salesman, engineer, veterinarian, teacher, accountant, builder.
How you can study professions with your child.
1) To begin, offer your child a completed playing field, study all the pictures with him and tell him about each profession and what professional tools are needed for.
2) Then you can offer the child empty playing fields and cards for them, and fill them out together.
3) In the future, the child himself will be able to play this game like lotto: choose cards from a box or bag and place them on the playing fields.
You can study professions using these educational materials with one child or in a group of children. In addition, you can also print part 1 of the “Learning Professions” materials on our website. Then you will have 8 playing fields and 64 cards.
All educational materials on our website, for classes with children at home, in kindergarten or in primary school, are adapted for A4 paper format. You can download them for free and print them out.

Preliminary work: reading the story by T. A. Shorygina “Danilka and the File”
Progress:
- Guys, let's imagine that our faucet is leaking... What are we going to do? (Children's answers.)
- That's right, we need to call a locksmith.
- And if the lock is broken, who can help? Again - a locksmith!
— What if the bike breaks down and dad can’t fix it himself?
— Is the key broken? Again, locksmith!
It turns out that the profession of a locksmith is so important and necessary. What kind of jack of all trades is this?
A locksmith is a very old profession; he works with metal and is well versed in products made from it. To deal with metal, a mechanic has special tools. Who knows which ones? (Children's answers.)
— A hammer and a chisel help the mechanic: he placed the chisel at a sharp angle to the metal, hit the other end with a hammer, and cut off a piece of metal (I show the illustration). You can also cut off the required piece of metal using a hacksaw saw (I show a hacksaw).
It has very sharp teeth and it itself is made of, look what? That's right, made of very durable metal. Why does a mechanic need a screwdriver? (Children's answers.)
The mechanic uses a screwdriver to screw in the screws, but for the bolts and nuts the mechanic has a special wrench (I’m showing you). The file helps him make the surface of the metal completely smooth. To ensure that all parts are made accurately and to size, the mechanic has many measuring instruments and tools. A locksmith can not only repair old items, but also make new ones.
So it turns out that a lot of tools help a mechanic in his work - sharp and dangerous, but very necessary.
How should he treat his assistants (Children's answers.)
- Right. When using any tool, certain safety rules must be followed. Each tool has its own rules. I will now introduce some of them. Let's start with the hammer. Who knows how to work with him? (Children's answers.)
- So, when working with a hammer, attention is required, the hand should not be at the very head of the hammer (I’m showing, but not at the very edge of the handle. Keep your fingers away from the nail head. If the nail is bent, then you cannot continue hitting it!
Never stand next to a person using a hammer! Why? (Children's answers.)
- Well done, he may accidentally hit you or the nail may bounce off.
Another very dangerous, but necessary tool is a hacksaw, which also requires increased attention when working.
You only need to hold the saw by the handle (I’m showing you, you can’t put your fingers under the teeth!
There are still a lot of tools that help a locksmith, let's remember what else helps him in his work? Children's answers. Well done, you named a lot of tools that he needs. But they can be not only useful, but also very dangerous - after all, most of them are sharp, piercing, cutting. You can easily get hurt by them if you don’t follow what? That's right, safety rules. Remind me what is required first of all when working with any tools? (Children's answers.)
- Well done, attention and caution. Do you think children can use them? (Children's answers.)
- Remember - you should not take a tool and work without the permission of an adult and without his presence. You can’t play with them, you need to handle them with care and precision, don’t leave them anywhere, try not to let moisture get on them, why? They may rust and become less efficient or completely deteriorate. Well, after work, all tools must be put away in a specially designated place. Now, let's remember everything we learned about such an important profession.
Questions for children:
• What is a locksmith? Why is his work important?
• What tools help him in his work?
• Tell us what rules must be followed when working with a hammer or a hacksaw?
• Why can't you play with instruments?
• Where and why should tools be stored?
Well done, guys, you told everything correctly, and now let's help the mechanic - you need to paint only those tools that he needs in his work.
