M & M Group Activity
M & M Group Activity
Activity: "To Get You Thinking." To help get students thinking more about their future plans for a career and where they are in the money management experience, a handful of M&M candies can help.
Have a large bowl of the candies. Invite each student to take some but to save them until further instructions. (With larger groups, you might have them go ahead and eat all but three of the M&M’s.)
Each M&M color represents a category:
Green ……………….personal goals
Dark Brown………..career or careers you are interested in
Yellow………………..hobbies and interests
Orange ……………..money management experience
Red……………………a fact about money
Blue…………………..have students select a category
Ask participants to share one fact about themselves for each M&M, according to the color chart. They are free to eat an M&M each time they share a fact with their group. This activity can be customized by changing the categories to meet specific needs.
Ask students if they have ever thought about how much they “earn” by coming to class? How much do you earn per class hour during their high school career.
Discuss with students that once they seriously begin to think about and write meaningful goals, they need to consider how they are going to make those goals (and dreams) become a reality. Help students arrive at the conclusion that with most of us, this is accomplished by earning and income from our chosen jobs and careers.
There are three major areas you need to explore.
1) Career Factors - with education, experience, and skills and interests being
some of the main factors. (Overhead "Influence On Career Selection" and
"How Education Pays")
2) Career Options - exploring "Hot Occupations" for today and the future, along with
consideration given to working for someone else versus being in business for yourself
(Entrepreneur).
3) Career Outcomes - examining what affects the paycheck you receive for your work
and efforts, along with understanding the importance of possible employee benefits
and the impact these benefits can have on our life.
