Paste pictures of people engaged in various occupations on 4 x 6 or larger cardstock, or write occupations on cardstock (if students can read).

Select student to begin. The student draws a card and must assume that occupation shown. Other students ask yes/no questions in order to guess occupation. Sample questions might be...

Do you work inside?
Do you treat sick people?
Do you work with children?
Do you work in an office?
Do you travel a great deal?

The first student to guess the correct occupation draws the next card.
